Shape Layer is a relaxing spatial puzzle game about fitting, rotating, and overlapping shapes. Each board shows exactly how many layers every square needs. Choose a shape, rotate it, and place it carefully. Shapes can overlap, so finding the solution requires planning across the entire board. Play at your own pace in Casual mode, or race against the clock in Timed mode. Use hints when you need direction, aim for flawless completions, and climb the Game Center leaderboards. Every shape matters. Every layer counts.
