Going Platinum: I Only Played Sound Shapes Because I Wanted at Least One PS Vita Plat

Hello! Been a minute since the last one of these, hasn't it? Sorry about that. I will be better, just as Kratos tells us.
Funnily enough, after the last Going Platinum , which was quite a personal and meaningful one for me, this edition is sort of the opposite.
I played Sound Shapes on PS Vita, and the primary motivation was, I'm afraid, Trophies. I simply wanted a PS Vita platinum, and this neat little game was what I chose.
I think this might be the most "Trophy hunter" I've ever been, just looking for another easy platinum to add to my collection.
That's not to say I didn't connect with the game, or enjoy it on its own merits; I definitely did. It's well worth playing if you haven't already.
