shapez 2 is a top-down factory-building game where you extract and process geometric shapes. Each shape has its own set of building-blocks that your factories can take apart, stack, paint and put back together in unique ways. Automate the processing of geometric shapes, build massive factories and optimize them to solve increasingly complex logistics and automation tasks! shapez 2 is financially supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action as part of the federal government's computer games funding.
The game’s predecessor, shapez, is a 2D factory-building and automation game that sold more than 650,000 units on Steam and attracted more than 10 million players to its demo on shapez.io. It laid the foundation for shapez 2, which introduces 3D visuals and a visually enticing space setting, as well as a wide variety of other tweaks to further improve player satisfaction. With over 325,000 wishlists on Steam, shapez 2 is one of the 100 most-wishlisted games on the platform.
Much-anticipated indie factory builder shapez 2 is now available in Steam Early Access. Having recently passed 325,000 wishlists and become one of the 100 most wishlisted games on Steam, shapez 2 arrives fully formed today and players can jump into this satisfying factory builder to begin honing their production prowess and managing multi-level polygonal production lines in an attempt to satiate the unquenchable appetite of the mysterious ‘Vortex’.
During Early Access, players can pick up shapez 2 for $24.99 / €23.99 / £19.99 on Steam. A stacked ‘Supporter Edition’, including the base game, rail twister and loop-the-loop cosmetic decorations, and an additional 40 minutes of the game’s ethereal electronic soundtrack, is also available for $34.99 / €33.49 / £27.99. Both the base game and Supporter Edition of shapez 2 have a 20% launch discount until August 29th.
Tobias Springer, founder of tobspr Games, said “We’re very excited and proud to have finally launched shapez 2 into Early Access. This game has been a labor of love so we couldn’t be happier with what we have managed to deliver to our players at Early Access launch. The game is already in a fantastic state but as we move forward, we are going to continue to develop it by listening to our community and implementing features that will make it even better for both our fans and those new to the factory building genre. We’re hugely thankful for the support we have received so far and look forward to continuing building shapez 2 into an even more satisfying strategy experience”.
At Early Access launch, shapez 2 arrives polished and ready to play! Players can construct sprawling, multi-level space factories and min-max layouts without limits. Tailor-made for strategy enthusiasts who crave the thrill of optimizing production lines and perfecting automation, the game offers four difficulty modes including Normal, Hard, Insane and an experimental ‘Hexagonal’ mode in which players will have to deal with six-sided shapes instead of the humble quadrilateral.
