so much fun

incredible game

At nearly 50hrs, I would say that this game has completely captured my intrigue. I am a huge fan of puzzle, resource management, and automation genre games and found this to be a great balance of casual and challenging. The game says in the beginning that it is not an idle game, but as someone who currently has to care for their injured partner, I really enjoyed the flexibility of the game to accommodate my need to occasionally walk away. No alarm bells or time sensitive alerts blaring in my ears while I helped around the house, and nothing was on fire when I returned! I know for some gamers, this may not be a plus, but it is for me.

I liked the upgrade system, I believe this helps keep the game adapt to the increasing challenge level as the game progresses. Early on in levels, the upgrade Shapez are often more challenging than the level up Shapez. I Think this is a good thing, as it challenges the player between tasks, and if upgrading was too easy, there would be no reason not to fully upgrade anything before pursing level ups. Great job devs on this balance!

I am currently on level 20, and will not spoil anything. It is the infamous "Shape" and it was the first time I had to look up a little help online to make something. I watched the official walk through with the dev and greatly enjoyed the passion behind the voice. This is truly a project with love and care behind it. In that video it is stated that Lvl20 is the "last level" and I certainly hope not! I plan to update this review once I am past it.
Hopefully there are new techniques to figure out and challenges ahead, because I could play this forever!

Overall, I would Strongly Recommend this to fans of the Automation/Resource Management/Casual 2D gaming community, as well as my friends. What sets this game apart is the pace. You can take your time, no rush to prep for invading swarms, or tragedies occurring. Just fun puzzles to solve with appealing graphics.

Thank you devs for your hard work, and thank you reader for your time! Can't wait for Shapez 2.
