Shapez is an open source Space-Management Game and Factory-Building Game, in which the factory you build makes shapes.

Shapes are made by laying out an assembly line of various machines, cutters, painters, stackers and so on.

There is a free demo playable online, and you can grab your save file from it if you want to continue playing on the full version purchasable on Steam.

Examples:

  • Easy Logistics: Unlike most factory games, buildings are free to place and resources won't run out so once you've built the factory it will run forever. The only consumable resources are blueprint shapes which are required to copy and paste factories.
  • Endless Game: While there are set goals, once finished the game will provide random shapes to create.
  • Gameplay Automation: Once unlocked, blueprints let you copy entire setups in one go.
  • Idle Game: A Loading Screen tip notes that the game is not one.
  • Infinite Canvas: There is no limit to the world - you can expand your factory indefinitely. Or at least until your framerate starts to drop.
  • No Plot? No Problem!: Why are we making shapes? No idea, but it sure is fun!
  • Programming Game: The signal layer allows for automatically reconfiguring the assembly line and the creation of a "make anything machine".
  • Randomly Generated Levels: Each world is randomly generated.

Alternative Title(s): Shapez IO
