Shapez - Factory Game Positive Reviews

Fantastic game, amazing soundtrack.Game runs great (have not made it super far and had many items yet) and the controls are quite intuitive. This is a great, simple (very simple, in a good way) factory game. Very easy to quickly pick up complete an objective or two and put down and come back to, although you’ll probably spend more than a little bit of time each session as it is very easy to get lost in trying to optimize belts and get that next objective completed. And the soundtrack! Wow what a soundtrack! Easily among my top 5 game soundtracks, it fits so perfectly. Absolutely love it. I am double dipping by having the game on my phone as well it is that good. I bought the complete game and soundtrack on Steam as well. For $5, it’s an easy yes to recommend. One feature I think would be awesome to add, for deleting long runs of belts is being able to drag to highlight and or tap in stead of needing to tap each section of belt. Maybe the option to switch between drag to select/tap to select, and then drag to highlight a square area to remove, add a toggle to switch between the two delete options..Battman16Version: 1.1

Probably my favorite game…I think this is probably my favorite game and even though there are some glitches that make me take long breaks from playing I still give this game 5 stars! When I come back to play after a few months, I’m always hopeful that some of the glitches or bugs have been fixed. I think there have been improvements, but I’m still experiencing several significant bugs. 1. In the higher levels, it frequently crashes and I have to restore my purchase in the home screen menu and then wait for it to reload and redo what I was working on before it crashed. 2. When I complete a level and click continue to move to the next level it skips that level and moves me to the next level automatically. I’m on level 138, but I probably should be on level 70-something? 3. The animation of the game slows, is jerky and pauses frequently. 4. When playing it makes my iPad very very hot. AND one request could you include a setting that makes the level’s example shape bigger so that it is easier to see the layers. When I click on it to see the layers, sometimes they move out of order and I need to look at the example to figure out what order to layer them. My first experience playing this game was on a PC and I don’t remember experiencing any glitches. I’m sure adapting this game for the iPad is very challenging and I’m very happy that it is here! Even with all the annoyances, I still thoroughly enjoy playing this game. There is NOTHING like it!.MissSweetVersion: 1.3.1

FunI’ve been playing this game since the free demo when my computer broke I was devastated that all my progress was lost when I found out there was a mobile version I was extremely excited to play shapez again. After a while I beat the first few levels and then the game was over. I was disappointed that unlike the demo after you finished the upgrades to the hub the game ended and locked you out of your save file. As I know the game and love it it was an easy purchase but new players such as myself to the mobile version will probably delete it. It would be great if you (the developers) could allow the factory to continue the factory without any further upgrades allowing the player to explore the game further while keeping the player behind a pay wall and further inclining the player to pay for the upgrade.Oliver the shape consumerVersion: 1.1.4

A very good phone game.I loved the pc version, and I’m having a lot of fun playing through again on mobile. It’s a really good fit for a phone game, you can always kill time by expanding/optimizing some process and it’s pretty easy to parse what’s going on when you put it down in the middle of something and come back later. My one complaint is that the ui is a little fiddly. It’s really effortless to do complex tasks on the pc version, and just a bit fussy to do on the touchscreen- especially running long conveyors. I don’t know if I can really fault the game for it though, it’s naturally a more limiting interface and it’s certain perfectly usable. All in all, I’m happy to see this game on mobile and it’s definitely worth the asking price..DogsbacklegsVersion: 1.1.6

A good mobile port of this game(Note for devs: The multi-place tool does not work on belts. It closes the tool after you press the check mark, even if it was locked.) This game looks and controls very well on mobile. It's a bit slow in the beginning, because accessing the deleting tool or placing things is slower, but it is just as good as the full game. I previously complained about needing to pay for it again and not being able to place multiple, but asking $5 for the mobile port after putting so much work into it is more than reasonable, and I found the tool to place multiple of the same building..RedstonewolfXVersion: 1.1.1

Fantastic game dragged down by bad DRMI’ve poured a lot of hours into this game already and plan to do more. It does an excellent job of gradually introducing new complexity and challenges, and before you know it you have a behemoth of an operation with a variety of new projects and reworks to do it. My main gripe with this game is how they’ve implemented the in-app purchase of the full game. It is well worth the price, but it does not appear to save locally the fact that you’ve purchased the game. When I lose access to the internet (something that happens often when traveling with my iPad), the game will forget that I’ve purchased it and gate me from continuing my save, even though I’m well beyond the level 7 free trial gate. Until this issue is fixed, my review will stand at a 3/5 instead of a 5/5..WrongSandwichVersion: 1.3.0

Good, but buggy and poorly optimized.Shapezio was one of my favorite games during the pandemic and although I hadn’t played it for a while, I was excited to see it in the App Store. I immediately purchased the game and started playing. After a few days of playing, I can say It is a pretty decent adaptation of the original PC game. However, I’ve noticed a few bugs such as the tunnels slowing down shapes, and deleting belts leaves behind the objects floating in mid air sometimes. This isn’t that big of an issue, but the optimization is. This game became really laggy during the last few levels and because of that, the production of shapes slowed it down to a crawl. I’m hoping that these problems will be fixed in the future also I can properly experience the game..XACOB9905Version: 1.3.0

Data Destroying BugBasically if your making/editing a waypoint and then swipe down on your utility screen the game will give you a prompt to buy the game again (if you had already bought the game) if you try saying “no thanks” or “later” it will crash. After reloading your saves will be wiped and you have to delete the game and reinstall to remove the bug. but DO NOT swipe down on your utility screen when editing a waypoint it will delete your data. (At least from what I just now found out after about 10 minutes ago when this happened to me).RioeuVersion: 1.3.1

Most creative factory-style game I've ever seenEvery factory piece is free to place once unlocked. You never need to worry about running out of funds for more machines or conveyor belts, so you can focus on optimizing your output. There's no limit to how shapes can be assembled (unlike other games where only certain blueprints can be made). I don't know if I would exactly call this a sandbox, but it feels almost as freeing, with just enough goals and limitations (the limiting factors being how fast different machines run and how far away some resources are) to keep it engaging..Major NokuVersion: 1.1.4

Won’t load (IPhone SE) [update {2}]I have always loved this game, always interesting,(a bit grindy but still fun) and I got a phone recently and decided why not get shapez on mobile? Downloaded it, (I have restrictions on my phone, (In-app purchases are not allowed) but the in app purchases are not allowed screen pops up twice, I say ok to both of them but then when those are gone, I wait 5 minutes, but it still doesn’t load… Sorry for the one star review, I think the game is great, I just can’t play it! Sorry for the bad review earlier, it works fine now idk why :/ Wish the full version costed less if not any money.ArgleBlargVersion: 1.3.0

Great fun, but requires internet connection for some reason. Also many weird mechanics.Really unfortunate that the full game is locked behind an in-game purchase that requires internet connection to verify each time you play instead of a paid app. If it wasn’t for this, the game would be completely playable offline. I travel a lot, and just learned I can no longer play because of this. Also has a lot of weird nuances with the mechanics such as a balancer not being able to go directly into two tunnels without something in-between them. And ironically it seems the balancers prefer one side more to the other. Still fun to make some spaghetti though!.Echo3VXVersion: 1.3.0

Five star game done in by broken save/continue bugUPDATE: Happy to report that two subsequent updates have fixed the problem of corrupt saves for this excellently-designed mobile port! 🤗👏👍. New players should have no problem. If you suffered save corruption from the initial release, be sure to delete all game saves to start on a fresh path. The thought that went into the touch interface is excellent. This is especially true for the efficient laying out of long conveyor belts. Gone is the Shift-drag mechanic of the mouse-keyboard desktop version. For mobile, the devs provide an “assumption of intent” to continue straight in the last-laid segment design. This way you can zoom in and out while maintaining in belt-laying mode. Any touch in one of the four orthogonal directions lays the belt in that direction without wiggling a wobbly diagonal route. Other thoughtful touch mechanics make this port a pleasure to play. 🙏TY devs for doggedly pursuing these improvements. Shapez Mobile should be the top factory builder on mobile devices now that its initial launch hiccups have been fixed. I happily update my review to five stars and encourage folks to play this brain-exercising game. 😎 ——- Original review comments, now moot —— The touch controls are awesome once you get used to them. The design of the original game is awesome. Despite game-breaking save/continue bug, I have played significant hours enjoying this game… up to the point that I feel I am kidding myself that “This run it will be different.” Then I load up to continue my progress and all my progress is gone! Will gladly update to a 5-star review when this game-breaking bug is fixed. I have tried to overcome the autosave/continue bug by painstakingly manually naming a game file, being sure to explicitly exit to the main menu, then immediately reloading the named save to ensure it is there before leaving a lengthy session only to return the next day to load the named game to find all my progress is gone. I give up. Will keep an eye out for an update but am done for now. 😥.RamblinJamboVersion: 1.1.6

Very fun but some annoying bugsThe game is so much fun and is a very good adaptation of a factory game for mobile devices. There are a couple of very annoying bugs though. 1. When copy pasting blueprints, orientation of belts is not always preserved, and sometimes it is actually impossible to get belts to split the way that you would like without building the components in a specific order. 2. Chainable extractors unlock but then you can’t use them. 3. Once you purchase the full game, you can’t play offline as it thinks that you haven’t unlocked it. This is a perfect game to play on an airplane except for this..BencbartlettVersion: 1.1.2

Best of it’s GenreIf you’re a fan of procedural “factory layout sim” genre games… games like Satisfactory, Factorio, or even Minecraft to an extent, (and you have a PC) then you’ve probably already played Shapes or at very least heard of it. Shapes is the purest, most distilled version of this type of game, and executed exceptionally well. I have lost many hours with the PC version, and have been looking forward to enjoying this iOS version. I’d you’re at all into logic, process or organizational styles of games, you will definitely enjoy Shapes. Very satisfying..EckelseckelsVersion: 1.1.2

Amazing game! Thanks for bringing it to mobile!Great game and is very deep for a mobile game. Can’t wait to get my hands on Shapez 2! This game is a great “where did the last hour go” type of game. My one wish is the controls were a little more iPad friendly. One easy addition would be an Undo button. For when you are designing and make a small mistake. Maybe I haven’t unlocked it yet but that seems pretty boiler plate as a feature. Either way it’s a creature comfort and not a must have for me. Thank you again!.WgboothVersion: 1.3.0

Simple and devilishly cleverThat sounds counterintuitive but tbh is game is a great example of what you can do with a beautifully simple idea. It’s a really interesting game and you’ve got freedom to figure out your factory as you want. It’s 100% strategy and planning and fixing where you went wrong. It’s a really great phone game. The controls can be a bit clunky at first but you get used to them. That’s really my only criticism. Well worth the $5, or however much it was..SimonwilloVersion: 1.1.7

Great game, weak portShapez is a fantastic game, but this port leaves a lot to be desired. my save apparently got corrupted after idk how many hours in. at a certain point the game would chew through my battery at like 2% per minute. the interface is buggy — you can click on pinned shapes and map pins even if they aren’t displayed, sometimes you’ll place things and they don’t actually get placed even though it looks like they do, copy/paste is a bear (scrolling/navigating in general) and once in a while a paste will bug out and you won’t be able to paste without restarting the game. restarting the game takes about five minutes, especially once your factory gets bigger. sometimes splitters don’t connect to tunnels; sometimes they do, but only one tunnel at a time. about 50% of the time when you switch apps, the game will need to reload, which is a huge hassle if you’re trying to copy a balancer. that said, it’s hard to find good games on the app store, especially in this genre. it’s not so bad that i won’t start a new save, but it feels like the port was not tested enough. it’s still a good time sink, but the long loading time makes it impossible to just pick up and throw down some conveyors in between life. i don’t necessarily regret the $5 purchase, but i probably wouldn’t spend it knowing what i know now. iphone 12, latest ios..Nikooooooooooooooooo123Version: 1.1.4

Great concept with too many game breaking bugsLove the game at its core, but I cannot look past the horrible bugs. My first world (lvl14) got corrupted so I had to start all over, probably due to the game shutting down in the background with a proper save. Every time you copy paste factories that have tight conveyors, they always get mixed up on which way to go or even if they should be pasted at all. This is fine, just means I have to do more work. Now I’m on lvl 18 and it’s asking for a 3 layer object. I stack the first two layers without any issue, but when I go to stack the next layer on top, it puts it on the bottom. I thought I made a mistake and switched up the conveyors. Same shape. So, apparently for this, it doesn’t matter what orientation or inputs I use, I cannot get the mission item. Restarting the app did not fix this. Honestly, if you love factory games, you’ll like this one, but you’ll get mad when it decides to break down on you..Blackleg eastwardVersion: 1.1.4

A fun way to kill timeI’ve been loving this game for a while and when the game asked if I’d leave a review, I couldn’t help but sing its praises. The free “demo” of the first 7 levels is a great way to see if you’ll enjoy the game before spending any money. I love games like this and spend a decent amount of time playing them on my computer, but when I’m waiting for something or when I’m on my break at work, I’m playing this game..Paladin0315Version: 1.3.0

Great game, bad controlsOk, so, I have always enjoyed shape. I hope. I’ve been playing the demo one cool math games, and when I found out there was a mobile port I was ecstatic! One gripe though. I wish there was a way to place multiple of everything at once. That existed in the original game, and I don’t see why it shouldn’t carry over too. It’s still fun, but I would recommend the download, but I would recommend the non-mobile version unless you really wanna play it portably. Other than that, it’s a good game..A surprised fanVersion: 1.4.10

I’m playing this game too muchI’ve noticed an unfortunate bug where in some instances, so far consistently with writing a long map tag, with random actions it keeps saying I need to buy the full version to continue..but I have already, so I say ‘no thanks’ and then do ‘restore purchases’ but it’s taking too long to load each time/it’s increasingly disruptive to gameplay as I progress in levels. 5 stars other than that. I want to play it more, thats why I want this bug to get fixed..UnimpressedpersonVersion: 1.3.1

Challenges feel disconnected.I did the free trial and the one thing that really stands out to me is each challenge feels disconnected from the previous. For instance you need to provide cut circles, but the next challenge will be to provide whole circles that are painted. I ended up wiping my factory thrice to complete the challenges since each step wasn’t building on the previous, but instead required either a whole new line or a heavy rebuild of the current line. Btw you receive no reward at all for leaving previous lines in place so it seems to really push to rebuilds for each challenge. Other games of this genre I’ve played at least give a currency reward towards buying infrastructure by leaving previous lines in place. The game is cute and I like the art style but it feels like a concept demo, not a completed game..EyeamwhoiamVersion: 1.4.10

WOW a amazing gameI got recommended this game by a friend, and thanks they did. When I recommended the game, I only had the free version, and it was so good I got the full game because of how great it is. This game needs strategy and I have a lot of that, so this game is great for challenging my brain. And this game has several possibilities of shapes you can make, so that also challenges my creativity. Thanks Shapez for being a great game with no bugs I have encountered so far..OliverOrion123Version: 1.3.0

Great game - butGames awesome if you want to scratch that factory automation itch at work or on the go or whatever - but I have a request. I’m not sure why, maybe it has to be this way, but the game seems to run at like 20fps (might be 30) at all times. This is on 16 pro max - scrolling through menus, panning camera, everything is affected and it honestly gives me a bit of a headache, especially when the rest of the phone is 120hz. Please, if it’s possible and it was just an oversight, please increase the frame rate to at least 60! I beg! Edit: bruh its not that my Factory is too big, this is from the very first time opening the Game period. Yall set a Frame Limit on the Game of 20-30fps for unknown to me reasons. The Main Menu, everything is 20-30fps..CamfaIOSVersion: 1.3.0

Relaxing Factory BuilderLoving Mindustry and Factorio, but wish there was more time to focus on the building, and less combat pressure? Then this game is for you! Puzzle your way through increasingly complex production set-ups, unlock new automation parts, upgrade existing assets through delivery, and try to set up a factory that’s reconfigurable to handle whatever the next ask is. This game has all of the factory building fun without any of the combat pressure!.HelpmepleasesguyVersion: 1.1.2

Almost Perfect Mobile PortI absolutely love playing Shapez on PC so was delighted to see it on the App Store. My hundreds of hours clocked in Steam was enough to buy the upgrade right away. Great value! No cross save between Steam and iOS is fine, not a huge surprise. I am having a lot of fun starting over with the tweaked touch controls. My only complaint is that there is no cross progression between iOS devices. Not being able to continue my iPhone factory on iPad is a bummer..UndeadBarberVersion: 1.3.0

Blueprints are brokenThis game is a fun and addicting concept, building off of Factorio, Mindustry, and Builderment. However using blueprints is extremely buggy: belts get really messed up if you rotate, and sometimes you can’t stamp at all. You have to force-quit the app and endure the long boot time again. Sometimes selections get stuck and won’t go away. I would think they’d have these kind of issues worked out when they are at the stage of charging money for the game. Other than that it is a fun and addicting game..InorganikVersion: 1.1.5

Creative mode?I have played the demo many times and finally bought the full game after trying it on a friend’s pc. He had everything unlocked and I found it really entertaining to simply mess around. I think adding a creative/design mode as part of the full game package or maybe as part of the demo would add a lot to the already very versatile gameplay..DragonScholar71Version: 1.3.0

Great game but a few bugsLove the game played it on pc and was excited when I saw it on here! It is great but there are a few annoying things such as trying to layout belts can be hard to get just one belt to make a tight turn and not go the wrong direction. The other thing is when you use tunnels even tho they are the same speed as the belts they will slow down the capacity of the belts which can make It tricky to keep efficiency without having any belts overlap. Love the game tho!.KjessigVersion: 1.3.0

Worth itThis game is amazing, and the mobile port is better than expected. $4.99 is well worth it for the full version. Quick question though, do you plan on making the Puzzle DLC on mobile too? If you do make the Puzzle DLC, will you add more non-community generated puzzles? I understand that this game is not your main priority but it would be pretty cool. 5 stars regardless..Bee3DVersion: 1.1.2

Great Game - But glitchingLove the game and want to play it as much as possible. But what's keeping this a 5 star review is that the game keeps glitching out on me around Level 14. I'll have pieces I try to delete that are visually still on scree. Seems to happen most with the color extraction. Eventually a glitch will happen that corrupts that save game and I can't get back in if I close out. Not sure if it's the iPhone 12 or iOS 17? But it's frustrating having to restart at the very beginning every time..ABloomquistVersion: 1.1.4

Fantastic game, slightly crunchy controlsI have been a big fan of this game since 2020 and would recommend it to anyone. I feel like it is incredibly impressive that the creator was able to port a mouse and keyboard game to a touchscreen and it still feels satisfying to play. However there are a few things that can be bothersome to work around but again, it’s a mouse and keyboard game ported to your mobile phone..15328746Version: 1.4.10

Plans to improve framerate?I was super excited to see this game come to mobile considering how successful it has been on other platforms. However, I was disappointed to see the game locked at 30 fps. Compared to the 120 hz refresh rate of iPhones, this app’s framerate is immediately noticeable. That being said, I understand this iteration is early in development and more changes are in the works. Are there any plans to address this framerate in the near future, or is this a low-priority concern?.Good ViewerVersion: 1.1.5

Amazing game, but one thing.This game is nothing short of awesome. Had me hooked since day one, and is worth every penny. The one thing I’m frustrated by is very little, but still effects my designs. Tunnel delay. When shapes go through tunnels, they get slowed down ever so slightly and it drives me crazy. Hopefully there is something you can do about it? Again, great game, no worries..Anonymous693602848Version: 1.3.0

Thought provoking and creativeI have had a great time playing this. While the demo portion is short, the game after purchase is endless. There design is fun and the music is soothing. This game may be difficult to navigate on smaller devices. Large phones or tablets would be best. Highly recommended for those with material management and process mindsets!.StruckaNERVVersion: 1.3.2

Love the GameThis game is a great game for anyone who loves the factory incremental type games but simplistic and at the same time complex!! The issues I have are as follows. 1. Why can I not zoom out all the way to see the shapes near edge of map that is insane that it’s an issue. Just seems like easy fix. 2. Why can I not and maybe it’s me but copy and paste any work done to make projects easy that to just redo everything all over again. I have played Shapez 2 on PC and the ability to copy and paste is important saves time which this game takes a lot of to just do simple things. Other than these it’s an amazing, challenging and very awesome game premise. Hope these issues get fixed but other than they keep up the good work love to see what comes next!.Pixeljunkie12Version: 1.3.0

AmazingOkay the pay thing was ent great but you gotta make money but this game is amazing like I ain’t even lying it’s so simple but so addictive in a good way just how everything works once you pay you will have a great time I promise it was so fun 10/10.Jake984782783Version: 1.4.10

Great start but needs place to report bugsIv found a few bugs -tier 2 conveyors not passing objects past tier 1 conveyors -some belts don’t carry items per second as labeled, namely 8/s only doing 6/s and 12/s only doing 10/s -conveyors not holding direction when copying/cutting Some improvements - blueprints disappearing after zooming out to large map - need button on main menu to report bugs I actually really like this game and definitely recommend it. I will for sure update my review when I know for sure it’s being properly supported. Great job guys, keep it up..Cobalt MantisVersion: 1.1.2

Fun and addictiveI don’t really play mobile games, but I just sat down and played this for like 4 hours. Super fun and intuitive. Great if you like problem solving. Kinda bugs out my eyes on a phone screen tho, maybe the text size could be bigger..Batman the SoupVersion: 1.3.0

Great gameI bought it on steam might buy it again on iPhone. Great time waster. If you like this I’d also recommend Satisfactory. Edit: I just got Shapez 2 on steam and I can’t stop playing it’s so good.ConsterTheMonsterVersion: 1.3.0

Fun Game with flaws.EDIT. I’ve raised my score as I’ve found workarounds for both issues listed below. 1. Make sure you open the app BEFORE you get on an airplane. 2. Making a balancer leading immediately into a tunnel, put down belts first and it will load into it. Old review. After two days I’ve come across two major issues. First, don’t expect to be able to play offline because the game needs internet to check that you’ve purchased the game. Second, tunnels will just stop carrying items. If you delete and replace them it will work again but it’s a huge pain trying to track down the broken tunnel in a huge factory..YgctdyguhiVersion: 1.3.0

Offline Mode is BrokenThe game is fun but if you bought the game intending to play it on a plane. It isn’t going to work because every couple starts, the game needs internet to check whether the IAP was purchased..Kevin MackVersion: 1.3.0

FactoryI have played a few other games that are very similar, this one is one of the best. I love that I can place any number of buildings right from the start and they don’t cost anything. It allows for you to create to your hearts content but with the infinite amount of shapes and colors combinations you always feel like you are building towards something. Worth the full purchase if you like factory games. Ps-please add a blueprint library where we can save blueprints, it can be a bit of a chore copying part of your factory and trying to drag it all the way across the map.Worp117Version: 1.3.0

Miss thingsI love this game it’s relaxing I really recommend it I only put 4 star because there are tings in the pc version ta we don’t have here.Superbenji678Version: 1.3.0

MidI like the game and all but I don’t want to have to spend 10$ to be able to play the full game but other then that it’s a great game I would recommend Devs can you maybe not make it cost 10$ and instead like 5$ then I might consider it Ps I live in Canada so it’s 10$.MastrBldrGVersion: 1.3.0

Needs internet connectionThe game doesn’t need internet to play, however, it needs internet to confirm purchases. I bought the full game to play on my iPad and every time I start the game without internet, it says “unlock full game” even though I have purchased the game. I have to hotspot my iPad from my phone to be able to play. Probably not a big deal for most, however it’s very annoying. Other that that issue, it’s an amazing game which I own on steam and iOS. I highly recommend..Guyzer10Version: 1.3.0

Add steam linkI bought the game on steam and would love if you could somehow link your steam account to unlock the full game without paying for it on iphone and steam.Habdul113Version: 1.1.7

Hooked right awayLoving the game so far. Addicting gameplay. Easy to get into and start playing. The only thing I would suggest fixing is the contrast between the buttons for each item and the world map makes it hard to see. They need a contrasting border or a more contrasting colour. Great game for a great price. Love it!.River JonesVersion: 1.1.5

Great factorio-lite but buggySuper fun and satisfying to play through, but always inevitably run into very annoying bugs that make it difficult to return. My most recent one seemingly randomizes the orientation of any placed belts, making the game essentially unplayable. Really hoping that this gets fixed as it is a great game (until it isnt)..TSDOOMVersion: 1.1.7

Tons of Fun!One suggestion is that the copy function stops working for me after a few times. I have lots of resources but seems like a bug that will clear if I restart the app.DrewfxVersion: 1.1.5

If only I could have my factory backThe game was really good.. I played more than 20 hours in 2 days. blocked at level 20, the factories no longer worked so I closed my game and when I opened it my save had disappeared and I can no longer play. 7$ lost and my morale is zero because for once I was really having fun playing a game and it no longer works on the day of my birthday.Damien_booVersion: 1.1.4

I LOVE this game, HOWEVER…This game is awesome! Keep up the good work. I play on both my iPhone and iPad, so the cloud save is great! EXCEPT! Twice now I have had the game load, but I guess it takes a little long to load later in the game and since it is not fully loaded, it autosaves a blank game.(?) I think it’s a timing issue. The game hangs there and doesn’t load. Then after a force quit and reload, my game is blank. My progress is there (lvl 20), but all my factories are gone. 😕 This can be expected of a brand new game and I’m sure it will be addressed in an upcoming update, but for now, I guess I will start over. Again. It is difficult to start over at such an advanced stage of the game. At least my progress is saved, so I have all the awesome unlockables, just nothing built..TheRebrickerVersion: 1.1.2

Fun Game but with some superficial flawsThis is a great game with a fun amount of puzzles to figure out. Just wish that there was a way to speed up time so you’re not stuck waiting for the Hub to collect 3k worth of product.Estarks8860Version: 1.1.2

Frame stutters. Would love 60fps option and upCmon man give us 60 fps support.Logistix604Version: 1.1.2

Shapez - Factory Game Negative Reviews

Can’t play offlineI bought this game upon reaching the free level cap because I am a huge factorio fan. I wanted a game I could sink my teeth into when I have nothing better to do, ie. traveling. Today when I was at cruising altitude with no internet connection, I launched the game and the main menu appeared like I hadn’t purchased the game already and prompted me to buy the full version. I try to launch my previous save that is currently on level 11 and the game prompts me to either purchase the game, do it later, or say no and exit. So now I’m stuck on a 5 hour flight and I can’t play my factory crack game that would make the time zip by. Also, on top of that, whenever I tap hit “unlock full game” my audio glitches out for a few seconds and the app completely crashes, which I’m assuming is because I’m offline. Please fix this offline issue, I bought this game specifically for the offline play and there’s no need to verify that I bought the game multiple times or be online at all during the game. It’s got me thinking about refunding it since I won’t be able to play it while traveling..Offline Mobile GamerVersion: 1.3.0

Great idea, but…When I downloaded this game I instantly realized that it was very laggy, about 20fps, on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I somewhat got used to it. Second, it is terribly annoying when I am panning in build mode, as it automatically pans to my first built node after only like a second, making it pretty difficult to move around for me. Third, I had no option to review how to mix colors when I got to stage 9. I accidentally instantly exited out of the tutorial screen when reaching stage 9. It would be nice if I could go back and see it. Finally, and most annoyingly, I can’t load back into my game. The menu screen only has two options: Continue, and tutorial. When I tap continue, it does nothing. There are no saved games under these two buttons. I would have, frustratingly, started a new game, but I see no option to. I’m not sure if some of these problems are only native to me because there are so many positive reviews and ratings. For a $7 mobile game I shouldn’t be having this many complications. $7 wasted unless this is fixed.Jeffrey27795Version: 1.1.6

Great game but terrible portRequires internet to play or else you get put back on the free trial. Hope you’re not planning on playing this on a flight. Also, blueprints are made entirely useless because of obtuse design decisions. If you dare zoom out while copying something, you exit the copy paste interface. Also to move the map while in the copy paste interface, you need to use two fingers, which is simultaneously the zoom gesture. You better believe you will be accidentally zooming out too far while attempting to get to where you want to place your design. You can’t jump pinned areas of the map while pasting blueprints either. There’s tons of other small frustrations with the bizarre and ill thought out design decisions, but these two alone are enough for me to never touch this mobile port ever again. Just stick to the PC version. Heck, maybe the web version if you must play on mobile..Yipekop2Version: 1.3.0

Shapez is great, this version is not.The game itself, in its full form on PC or even in your web browser, is amazing. This port/version is NOT good, and honestly does the game a disservice. There are multiple bugs that I’ve never experienced in the PC game that I can’t play for 5 minutes without running into here. 1. Belts that should be pushing 8/sec push 6/sec if you have tunnels, despite the fact they’re meant to run at the same rate. 2. Autosaves occur every few minutes, which is great except for the fact that it freezes the game for multiple seconds while it processes. 3. Splitters will randomly stop working if they’re flowing directly into a tunnel, requiring you to delete both and start the route over. 4. Any stutter in the game causes the tick rate to freak out, throwing off the production/delivery rate. I believe this could likely cause soft-locks in any instance where you’re required to produce a certain number of shapes per second. If this is the only way you can play Shapez, it’s not unplayable, but it is EXTREMELY close to it. I’d caution against spending your money here if you have any computer at all capable of running the full game instead..Bmorgan99Version: 1.4.10

YawnMildly interesting concept, but oh my gosh…….talk about grind. You have to wait while your factories S L O W L Y produce the gadgets while the number of gadgets required to fulfill the level objective grows exponentially! I went from, “huh, this is crazy, why should I have to watch while my layout makes 30 more of these?” To “ What? I have to make 70?” To “140?” To “ Forget it! I’m not waiting while this produces 360 of the same things!” (And that was by level 6 - how many do they expect you to make on level 90?). Yes, I know you could lay out several production lines to produce more of the same thing, and if that’s what you call fun, this game might be for you. For me, once I’ve solved the puzzle, I am not going to do it 10 times over simply so I can still wait the amount of time it takes to make the 30 on the first level. No Thanks, deleted..GoBoksVersion: 1.1.5

The worst way to play ShapezThe controls are vary slow do do anything. To build a long conveyer you have to look ahead constantly. You can’t drag your finger to build a conveyer. It also doesn’t let you play past level 6. When you reach level 7 it shoves a pop up in your face and if you try to close it you boots you to the main menu. Swapping between building and deleting is very slow, it makes you tap and hold to start deleting (which takes like two and a half seconds). I was hoping this was going to be a mobile port, but it’s just worse in every way compared to other versions. Go play Shapez 1 or 2 on steam. You could even play the one on cool math games, at least that one lets you go past level 7..D0nki3Version: 1.4.10

So good, but needs fix.I want to give this app 5 stars becuse I can’t put it down. The problem is that it is extremely annoying when I close the game, come back, and my progress has been lost. The storage tool often loses objects I’ve spent a lot of time building that disappear when I return to the game the next day. Lots of bugs that need work. I completed level 26 then found I was back at level 20 for some reason. (?) The cut/copy tools sometimes won’t allow me to move what has been selected, or copies objects but after pasting, the conveyors move in little circles or seem to be blocked and need to be redrawn. This app would be truly wonderful if these bugs were fixed..Driver 000Version: 1.3.0

Can’t get into it due to choppy performance.These Unity games are not optimized for iOS, every time I use the controls I just wish I was playing on a pc for which this was clearly optimized. The refresh rate feels like it’s either capped or forced by low frame rate to 20 hz. I know it’s easy to develop with Unity, but it’s not just plug and play, the developers need to work on real optimization before it delivers a similar experience. While this is exactly the type of game I would sink some good time into, it’s pretty out of the question buying the full version for me, knowing that I would just be disappointed in the choppiness that occurs even without any significant load..EvanmsVersion: 1.1.7

Fun until it isn’tThe game play itself is challenging, addictive, and fun. But it is extremely, and fatally, buggy. Bad enough that you have to destroy and then rebuild tunnels to restore flow after random process flow failures; worse that you have to close and reopen the game frequently to continue play; worst is having saved file corrupted (happens during Edit mode), so even after a full app restart the corruption reappears and makes continuation impossible. I’ve given up waiting for an update to resolve this … don’t waste your money unless you’re seeking intense frustration. If it ever were to work reliably I would give it 5 stars, but as it is now 2 stars is generous..Greg7550Version: 1.1.7

Really fun game but one major flawI bought the full version of this game and got pretty far into it, and there was a bug where once my factory got super big it would take a while to load and then tell me I needed to buy the full game, even though I already had. I would reset the game a few times and eventually I could get into it. But earlier today the game completely reset. My save game is completely gone and it says that I haven't bought the game. I've tried a lot of troubleshooting but nothing seems to work. Please fix this issue, I really like this game but I'm not going to buy it again..Wyatt5055Version: 1.3.1

Great game, lots of bugsThis game is pure, factory bliss without having to worry about building costs, power constrains, or pollution, which is why I love it. However, it is absolutely infested. Mainly, the tunnels don’t deliver at the rate r they are supposed to, leading to a full 12 belt being clogged by a tunnel that can only carry 8 for some reason. The game unlock paywall also randomly pops up at times, but I haven’t had any major issues with it. Either give us Shapez 2 or call pest control! Edit: I just lost all of my progress and was reverted back to level 11 from level 19. If you want to play this game, be ready to lose a lot..Coggy4045Version: 1.3.1

Game crashed and erased the factoryI had really been enjoying this game despite the occasional bugs I was encountering (the rotators would sometimes turn a half piece into a full piece instead of rotating). However, today I opened up the game and it crashed and then when I was finally able to get the app to open it had erased my entire factory. All of my achievements and levels stayed but all of the time I had put into making my factory was lost. Very disappointed but hopefully the developers can fix the problems because the app was really fun when it worked..Noahat3Version: 1.1.2

Great game, later levels ruined by bugI had so much fun with this game until I came across a bug where you can’t copy your designs and then zoom out. If you zoom out the game “forgets” whatever you copied. It makes it incredibly difficult to progress past around level 15 because this key feature to the game is just broken on iOS and has been that way since the game came out. Just making a simple clipboard for your designs would solve this issue. Unfortunate..RoycejwVersion: 1.3.1

Blueprints brokenSince you can’t access blueprints until after you pay, here is your fair warning: unlike in the PC version where you can paste a blueprint at any location, in the mobile version you have to copy & drag. This might be workable except that zooming out cancels the drag. So copying a long distance is a pain and basically unusable. Would not have purchased if I knew this since blueprints are a key feature. The game is just tedious without usable blueprints..Frandad729Version: 1.3.0

PainYou have to PAY to continue playing a save. I’m working on not making excessive saves. It has already plagued games like factorio, satisfactory, kerbal space program, etc. And THIS PIECE OF TRASH decided to make a game that needs to pay to play a save..Let’s break the game togetherVersion: 1.3.2

Requires wifiGame is great loved it on pc but it won’t recognize that you bought the full version if you don’t have internet access I bought it for a flight and it ended up being worthless otherwise fantastic game and the phone adaptation is just as great I’ll change my review when this issue is resolved.Borvo_Version: 1.1.4
