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.
Check out the development roadmap for potential future features suggested by and voted on by the shapez 2 community.
