About
shapez.io is a game about building factories to automate the creation and processing of increasingly complex shapes across an infinitely expanding map.
Upon delivering the requested shapes you'll progress within the game and unlock upgrades to speed up your factory.
As the demand for shapes increases, you'll have to scale up your factory to meet the demand - Don't forget about resources though, you'll have to expand across the infinite map!
Soon you'll have to mix colors and paint your shapes with them - Combine red, green and blue color resources to produce different colors and paint shapes with them to satisfy the demand.
This game features 18 progressive levels (Which should already keep you busy for hours!) but I'm constantly adding new content - There's a lot planned!
Purchasing the game gives you access to the standalone version which has additional features, and you'll also receive access to newly developed features.
I am updating the game often and trying to push an update at least once every week!
Anybody can contribute, I'm actively involved in the community and attempt to review all suggestions and take feedback into consideration where possible.
Be sure to check out my trello board for the full roadmap!

shapez.io reviews and comments
I initially had a lot of fun with this on the website shapez.io. If you're interested in this game, check it out there first. It's free and you can transfer your save to Steam if you want to purchase it.
shapez.io is a minimalist take on Factorio, where you aren't restricted by resources, but rather only by your imagination. There's a certain zen to its simplicity. You build factories that chop up, paint, stack, and piece together various shapes. You start with only a few options for building, but quickly unlock more as your deliver the required materials. Many are direct upgrades, allowing you to retrofit or rebuild old factories with new technologies. Eventually you unlock circuits that allow you to automate things further, creating completely independent factories.
At a certain point, Shapez's simple premise takes a turn for the worse, adding in unintuitive puzzle-like mechanics to the previously simple shapebuilding. Floating parts, empty layers, and a weird set of logic behind it all makes it more frustrating than rewarding. It doesn't help that the system for stacking shapes is bug-ridden, sometimes locking you out of progressing if you happen to have made a mistake in a stacking formula. This system is purposefully obtuse, with prominent community members claiming these puzzle-like aspects "make the game worth playing." To me, they keep it from being something I want to continue playing.
It's cheap, so I still recommend it. If you enjoy what you played online, and you're okay with some bad design choices and bugs, it's worth the $5 pricetag.
