### World

LOST CHAPTER

**Born Survivor** is the fifty-fourth level of *Just Shapes & Beats* and the fourth level in the LOST CHAPTER.

## Description

This level is the first and only level to use an equalizer to lip-sync to the song. It also utilizes black holes in a funnel shape.

## Story Sequence

After freeing a part of the Tree, the player frees some of the Birds from a cage, as they form a platform. the Big Cube jumps on it, and the player frees more Birds, however the cage falls on the platform, which breaks and makes the pink crystals touch the boss beacom. The Boss then appears from the beacon as it chases the player upwards. Shortly after, a Spider manages to trap the Boss as the player spots part of the Tree trying to escape the cavern, and they are required to complete the level to help it get out.

## Layout

### First Phase

A wave of squares appears at the bottom of the screen as a funnel black hole catches it. Another wave of squares and funnels appears at the top. A funnel appears at the left side of the screen and releases a wave of squares. Beams then start to appear with large amounts of squares flying into the funnels in different spots.

A funnel then appears at the right hand side of the screen and moves to the left, then the top, and the bottom. As it catches squares repeatedly and funnels release a half ring of squares.

### Second Phase

As the black hole moves into the middle, it summons an equalizer. Waves of squares and funnels appear at the top, as the middle one falls to the bottom and appears back in the middle to summon the equalizer again.

The equalizer then starts to sing the lyrics of the song through its middle as squares appear from both sides of the screen, and two more equalizers appear as the song starts building up.

### Third Phase

Three funnels move to the left and grab three squares. Another equalizer appears at the top and splits in two. These funnels appear at the bottom and release half a ring of squares. A barrage of falling squares then appears as to equalizers appear and disappear. A funnel throws a square to another funnel and another one appears at the right hand side of the screen and releases a wave of squares. The same two equalizers appear. After a small rinse and repeat, the two equalizers come together and disappear, and the level ends shortly after.
