You're an explorer in a strange landscape of beautiful and ethereal computer generated shapes. Play is simple. Just swipe to move shapes. When shapes collide they merge to form new higher level shapes with higher point values. A new shape is added after each move. The game's over when there's no free spaces and no shapes can be merged. But don’t worry, there’s always next time with a completely new wondrous set of randomly generated shapes. Shape Garden Includes: • 4 beautiful and unique themes including Japanese Seashore, Plain Packaging, Plastic Toys and The Blind Watchmaker • Standard mode - reach higher levels, explore shapes or just chill out and explore • Timed mode - race against the clock • Zoom to see exquisite shape details • Share discovered shapes with friends • Additional theme packs available
