ABOUT THE GAME
The mined yen is
Become the first one in the factory.
Shapez is a minimalist factory construction game created by Tobias Springer. Start by placing an extractor on the shaped resource and transporting it to the HUB using a conveyor. According to the official explanation, the process of combining cutting, rotation, lamination, and coloring, as well as an endless map, are waiting for you.
SECOND PROCESS
Pay half,
Make an exit in half.
If you complete level 1 by delivering 10 yen, the cutting machine and trash can will be unlocked. Connect the required semicircle from one outlet of the cutting machine to the HUB, and connect the remaining semicircle from the other to the trash can. By preparing two output destinations, the processing line continues to flow.

Lines that only serve as transportation become production equipment.
If you look at the direction of the extractor and the inlet of the HUB and pull the belt, the shape will continue to flow automatically. Although the operation is simple, the line that determines which resources go to which entrance becomes the blueprint of the factory.
The number of processes increases according to the target shape
Once the shape requested by HUB is delivered, the level advances and processes such as cutting, rotation, lamination, and coloring are added in order. We will expand from the stage where the extracted shape is transported as is to a production line that combines multiple processing equipment.
You can play for free with the official demo
The browser version you can start with shapez.io is a free demo. The product version is sold on Steam and also supports a Japanese interface. According to the official description, the factory can be expanded to include cutting, laminating, coloring, wiring and logic circuits for more complex shapes.
