About shapez 2
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. Since launch, shapez 2 has already sold 150,000 copies and is available to purchase in Steam Early Access.

About tobspr Games
tobspr Games is an independent game development studio from Germany that was founded in 2018 by Tobias Springer. The company began as a hobby with a focus on webgames: the studio’s first game was a tower defense game called "YORG.io". After it became clear that a much larger player base could be built on Steam, the concept switched to a hybrid approach: a demo on the web and full version on Steam.
 

Since the success of shapez, the focus is now on Steam and the studio has now launched the game’s successor, shapez 2, into Early Access.
