## What is Shapez?

*Try Shapez up to level 7 for free or unlock the full game for more tools, more shapes and more challenges!*

Do you like automation games? Then you are in the right place!

shapez is a relaxed game in which you have to build factories for the automated production of geometric shapes. As the level increases, the shapes become more and more complex, and you have to spread out on the infinite map.
And as if that wasn't enough, you also have to produce exponentially more to satisfy the demands - the only thing that helps is scaling! While you only have to process shapes at the beginning, you will later have to color them - by extracting and mixing colors!

FEATURES
- Create a unique and complex abstract shapes factory in a satisfying way.
- Unlock new devices, upgrade them, and optimize your factory by experimenting with diverse tools.
- Develop your system the way you want: each problem can have many solutions.
- Enjoy an elegant, minimalist and readable art direction.
- Go at your own pace with an approachable gameplay and a soothing soundtrack.

### 5/5 — Took my life away

*2026-08-28, version 1.4.10*

Missed my sons birth  
For this game. Worth it though

### 5/5 — Factorio a go go

*2026-08-24, version 1.4.10*

Awesome factory game to play on the go. Very addicting and fun. However after paying it kept wanting me to leave a review so i am to quit getting the pop ups. Thought about docking a star but I didn’t. 

The factory must grow.

### 1/5 — Black

*2026-08-18, version 1.4.10*

When I press the app it turns black for a few seconds and then it exits the app

### 3/5 — Shouldn’t have to pay

*2026-08-15, version 1.4.10*

It’s a great game, but I wouldn’t pay money for the full version.

### 3/5 — Needs additional features.

*2026-08-12, version 1.4.10*

This game is incredible and a wonderfully optimized factory game, especially on mobile. But there are some things that need work. There is no way to fully make blueprints. You must copy paste something already in your factory then place it elsewhere. The problem with this is if what you are building is far away, you have to drag that blueprint all the way to the other side of the map. There is a way to make markers to quick jump to locations but if you do so while holding a copy, it drops it and you have to go manually re copy it again. This is incredibly frustrating to me as I am trying to build exceptionally large builds.  I want to rate the game higher but these are such easy fixes and are also problems I have seen brought up multiple times by other users in the past. Please add a blueprint book or at the very least make it so you can still go to map view without dropping your copy paste.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-11, version 1.4.10*

This is probably the best game of it’s kind that I’ve played yet. The simplistic graphics, the controls, the music; and on top of that it seems to be very well optimized. I don’t have anything to complain about except that I wish I could buy the full game…

### 1/5 — 原油タンカーぐらい重い

*2026-08-04*

10秒に1回のフリーズを許せるなら素敵なゲームだよ。
二つの意味で時間泥棒。

### 5/5 — Baller

*2026-08-01, version 1.4.10*

One of those games you can play when nothing else seems fun

### 3/5 — 楽しいですが1100¥か

*2026-07-31*

楽しいですが1100円はね

### 5/5 — Is what you think it is - fun imo

*2026-07-29, version 1.4.10*

It’s a factory builder. I’ve got a couple hours into it, been enjoying it. No complaints. I did pay for the full game. The demo is good if you’ve never played a game like this before, give it a shot, but if you want to play for more than like an hour, you’ll need to buy the full game, worth it imo. Bought it once, showed up on my phone and iPad.
