Yawn. Mildly 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.

Save issues knocked you down 2 stars. Spent 3 hours playing last night and woke up to the game progress not registering anything I did and the save state being from 2 days ago… I otherwise love the game (other than a sorter not being available for so long 😒) but I don’t want to do all that again, and I think I’ll just lay off it for now

Game crashed and erased the factory. I 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.

Fun with glitches. This is one of my favorite games, but their are some glitches. The one that’s been annoying me the most is a glitch with the stackers. This glitch over stacks some of my Shapes. For example if I’m using one stacker I sometimes end up with a shape with 2-4 layers, if I reload the game it sometimes fixes it, if this could get fixed it would be amazing. Thank you for reading

Great game with a few bugs. I love the concept and it is generally well executed. I have hit a few bugs, specifically: * The cutters don’t behave properly, most of the time if you chain them, they don’t actually cut, and only one output will flow. This makes it very hard to get quarter pieces! Sometimes they start working if you leave to the main menu and come back. * Maybe I’m not using them correctly, but if I try to use a blueprint, it creates the copy, but then trying to move it, it disappears without being placed, but your blueprint tokens are spent!

Online Requirement. I would purchase the full unlock option if it did not require online access. This seems like a good game for travel where internet access might be limited. Looking forward to such an update!

A Great game but a sad port. It plays well until you get to higher levels. Then the issues appear. It is a small map. The blueprints are not save-able, not even a buffer. It is copy and paste immediately or try to scroll blindly to your spot. There are other things lacking.

Great but please fix. Issue with game not loading up your save and makes you restart just to play. Amazing game but annoying have to restart every time I get to level 14

Great. I haven’t had much time to play the mobile version, but I’ve played the pc version, and it’s one of my top 10 favorites. However I was wondering if there were plans to sync progress with epic games or steam so you could transfer your saves from pc to mobile.

Extremely clunky controls - seems unfinished. I love Shapez but this is missing a ton of QOL features that make it not fun to play. I would definitely wait for it to be improved some more, and I’m disappointed I paid for the full version. - Laggy on iPhone 14 Pro Max, needed to limit the FPS to 30 manually - Can’t have more than 1 conveyor belt feed to a different belt seemingly - Can’t place more than 1 machine at a time, lock mode doesn’t let you place and confirm multiple machines at a time - Can’t “draw” items on screen in place mode All of these things make building and transporting more tedious as I find myself fighting the UI more than anything. This game feels unfinished, I wish it had more time before it came out. In the meantime I would recommend playing other similar games better suited for mobile.

Horrible controls. This has the most tedious and awful controls, after only a few minutes I was left looking for hot keys/shortcuts that just don’t exist. They expect you to tap every little box a thousand times instead of having some drag to place or box select system. I’d honestly be surprised if the devs spent more than an hour playing on a touch screen. 0/5 if I could, it’s a watered-down and significantly downgraded shadow of the original game. Shame

I love this game!. This is the best assembly line puzzle game I’ve ever played. It provides endless hours of entertainment and although there is some waiting required, there is always something to do or optimize while you wait.

100% recommended… when they fix the saves.. Bought the game, made it to level 14, then my save corrupted? Amazing concept that was executed perfectly. Only problem is the world saves will randomly not load… ever again. On top of other small bugs. Periodically updated so hopefully it’ll be fixed soon. Still gonna continue playing and it’s definitely worth trying the demo.

Good game but... I bought this game originally on pc, it’s an amazing game that’s very relaxing, BUT I thought my $10 purchase of the “full” game would allow me to play it here once I found out it was coming to mobile, but I cannot sign in to use my “full” game that I purchased but instead I have to spend another $5 to play the game I bought. 😕

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.

Best Game Ever. I’ve played many of hours on Steam and instantly bought the full game for my phone. Can’t wait to take this game everywhere I go now. Keeping a close eye on the second one coming out 😋

Fun. I’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

Shapez Enthusiast. Just browsing though app store when I seen this, I’m excited that it being released on mobile. I hope its just as good or better then the Pc version! I will add more feedback and requests as the updates come out. Side Note: I understand its newly released so bugs are to be expected. I have a couple of requests if possible. Refund your purchase prompt and the building editor’s drag select is janky.

Blueprints are broken. This 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.

great game, weak port. shapez 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.

Great game but some improvements. I love this game on pc and am excited for Shapez 2 and also was excited for this app. I think it’s pretty great overall but I wish it was more compatible with an Apple Pencil. I just think the game would run much better if I could use my pencil to make paths and move the screen seamlessly. Hopefully in the future they can update it to work better!

Great Game - But glitching. Love 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.

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.

Most creative factory-style game I've ever seen. Every 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.

Love it!. If you love Factorio this game is for you! There are a few bugs and some things I had to get used to, but I like the game so much I can overlook the minor items!

Too many bugs at higher levels. Glitches become worse the more factories you build and game becomes unplayable. Most have already been reported, so I’m not going to bother repeating. At level 16, I tried to cut and paste a factory, the belts didn’t paste, and everything glitched. Now my saved file won’t open. Guess I’m starting over. On an iPhone 15 Pro.

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?

Amazing game, small bug. Amazing game, you can lose yourself for hours coming up with new designs. I noticed when I build a compact blueprint and copy it, the conveyor belt connection will often shift to something different than the original connection. Not sure if anyone else noticed but kind of annoying.

Too many bugs and not as fun. As much as I love and adore this game the mobile version is simply too buggy and not as fun as if I were to play it on my PC. It takes a lot longer to place and delete things, belts connect when I don’t want them to, and its simply easier to just use a computer. Its a waste of $4 just buy it on pc.

Game stopped loading on my ipad. The minute I saw this game was on the app store, I jumped on it because I was addicted to the desktop version. There were some glitches (like the sorters changing size or the game not recognizing I switched to a new tool) but not enough to make the game inoperable. But I made it to level 13 and turned the game off for a little bit. I came back and I can’t re-enter my save, the loading circle just spins endlessly :(

Great game if you know what to do. Love this game, known it for a long time and was thrilled that they came out with a mobile version. Was so confused on the later levels and realized that most people may need a tutorial to get past level 16-21, and the game also has plenty of bugs, the most annoying of which is— the game won’t save. My auto save interval is 1 min, saves every ten. If I try to exit to the title screen 50 percent of the time it won’t save OR go to the title screen, and I have to lose 10 minutes of progress (friggin autosave) because I have to force-quit the app. Would give five stars if there weren’t really annoying bugs.

Fun enjoyable until controls enrage you.. Played on iPad, fun! Played on iPhone 8, runs fine but the controls can get frustrating, especially trying to scroll or zoom in build mode.

5 Star Game, But. Got this on my computer years ago and it’s still great, I’ve been waiting for a mobile port for a while but I have a couple of recommendations, 1 Add JS mod Support from pc, and Let us Use PC saves to continue our saves. And try to let us use 60hz and 120hz. Thanks Playdigious for the Port

“Buy full game”. I just bought “infinifactory” on epic games store as free game of the month. It’s an excellent game that costed me no money and really challenges the player with complicated series of levels that never question your commitment with a fee. It’s no longer on sale, but neither is this game. Don’t settle for low quality, box checking. Get a complete experience with a plot and cheap puzzles.

Buying the full game????. I liked the game until I completed a level and it slapped me with a buy full version to continue. I hate that. There are a lot of games that I like that remove the fun out of it when it shows that it is “free” when it should just be a free trial. That is literally the only thing that I dislike about the game and can be easily fixed.

Can’t play w/o internet. Love the game I have it on steam so I immediately purchased the entire game, problem that I have is that even if you buy it you can’t play it offline bc it needs to authenticate every time I open it. Does not feel like I bought the game if I am restricted from playing it when I want.

Pre-ordered and still have to pay for full game. Otherwise, I’ve really been enjoying it.

Best of it’s Genre. If 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.

I love this game so much but…. I love this game so much however after spending hours building and passing level 15 , the game froze and deleted everything I had after level 15 and brought me down to level 14. It really hurts after spending hours having the perfect build. Mind you, I paid the $6.99 for the full game. You guys need to fix this bug and please give me my level back or give me my money back….

Best Mobile Factory Game. I’ve always loved this game on pc but when I heard it was coming to mobile I couldn’t wait to play. It plays so well on the iPad and is already a favorite game on my mobile devices! Can’t wait to play the second game!

Relaxing Factory Builder. Loving 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!

Randomly Deletes Everything I Built. This game is a lot of fun, despite being a little glitchy. That is until, a few days after I purchased the full version ($4.99), now it has deleted everything I built twice! I guess it's just a waste of my time to play if every time I open the app, there is a 50% chance of losing everything.

Phenomenal game. I’ll have to admit, it is much, much more than I expected. I’m really loving how satisfying this game is. I’ve been looking for a decent mobile factory game, and here it is. Great work!!

Why is the auto save worthless?. This is a fun game and I enjoy playing it. But when it crashes - yes it crashes - I lose hours of creativity because the auto save is useless and doesn’t actually save the game every two minutes like I have instructed it to. Why!!!!!!!

Great concept with too many game breaking bugs. Love 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.

Too many bugs right now. Trying to play on iPad Pro, pencil causes entire game to break and I can no longer tap. Plus adjusting the shape of belts doesn’t seem to work well, which makes it hard to build compact factories. Mobile port of the game seems to be a bit half-baked at this point.

Worth it. This 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.

Perfect game!!. I don’t think I could have found a better game! I do have a few suggestions though. 1: when you are building your track, you should be able to select without having to worry about the track messing up. 2: copying and pasting from the start 3: the choice to rotate clockwise vs counterclockwise when building 4: able to delete from the building menu That’s all! Love your game, keep up the good work!! ♥️♥️

AWESOME. I used to play this when I was younger in 2019, and I was so sad that I couldn’t get the full version. Now that I can get it on mobile and pay for it easily on my phone, I can finally play the entire game!

Very fun but some annoying bugs. The 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.

Love that this is iPad but controls feel a lil awkward. I love that this is now available on iPad but the controls seem kinda awkward. I feel like there’s too many prompts to complete even a simple conveyor belt, perhaps I’m use to playing it on PC with a mouse and keyboard ? I will probably persist with it and hopefully the controls and interface will get more refined and polished in the future.

Bad implementation. The inter face was not done well and you can’t even connect to your steam account to get the full game. You have to pay separately. You’re better not off getting it on pc

Love it. No hurry, time to think through the strategies available. Didn't hesitate to unlock the full version!

Simple yet Complex.. This game is well designed and has a simplistic feel yet requires complex thoughts to progress. Finished the demo and didn’t hesitate to buy the full version. $7AUD for anyone wondering. At no point did this game feel too easy, and it was the perfect amount of challenging to keep me engaged. 👍

Really great game once you get the basics. Really enjoying the game, although the tutorial was pretty limited. My main issue is that when you start to use blueprints, if you happen to zoom out too far by mistake, you end up losing the blueprint, but you still end up paying for it with the blueprint shapes, then have to wait until you generate more. Very frustrating. Otherwise, a bit addicted.

Flawless. The App Store needed this

Progress deleted. Clears whole area every now and then and you have to start again😩😩😩😩😩😩

Progress keeps getting deleted. Every now and then reloading the saved game will clear the whole area and you have to start building from scratch

Decent Port. A decent port of the desktop version. A few bugs and controls are a little clunky, but still a great time filler.

Fun game but lots of bugs still. This game is fun, and I’ve been playing for a good few hours now but there are two bugs which really annoy me: 1. Progress doesn’t consistently save. Even when exiting the game properly, your progress doesn’t always save. I just logged in to find 3 hours of work I’d done had not saved (for the second time) and tbh now I just feel like giving up. 2. Tunnels randomly stop working until you delete and reinstall them

Having fun. The game is really fun, but the controls could be better, not super intuitive. Would be a 5-star if this was changed

Fix your frame rate and offline restore purchases Jesus!!!. As stated in advising you with a report.. problem with restore purchase when testing phone on airplane mode without wifi… says I’m still in the demo version.. this update you did removed dev commands.. which had the only option to adjust this stupid frame rate to 60fps.. it’s running really choppy like 25/30 fps ridiculous. Give us the option to change the frame rate!! 2/5 stars, needs these fixes even before release!!!

Bad port. Shapez on pc is great but the touch controls on the port are terrible and unresponsive.

Greatest factory game. I have 100% of achievements on pc and ill do the same on mobile, love this game, On god best game of the year

Only A Few Levels. Fun game, although was done after only an hour of game play

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

Hooked right away. Loving 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!

Requires wifi. Game 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

if only I could have my factory back. the 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

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.

Fun. 👌👍✌️👌👍✌️👍💕👍✌️😁😀😃😄😄😄😆😆😆😂😅🤣🤣😀😃😁😁😄😀😁😭👍👌😁😩😄💕😁😒😃😀😭😁😆😄😃😃

Fun Game but with some superficial flaws. This 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

Great start but needs place to report bugs. Iv 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.

THE BEST GAME. i have not stop playing game it soooo good but can umake the map go infinite and the zoom out bigger

Off to a good start. I’ve found the touch controls of this PC classic very well implemented. It’s great at scratching that Factorio itch while on the go.

Shapez but mobile. Now i can habe no life outside of my room!!

love the game!. the only problem is the controls, if i use my pen it gets buggy even with my fingers on the conveyor belt.

Broken on iPad. Game is deeply broken on IPad. Only works in portrait mode, and no pencil support. Otherwise a lovely game. Disappointing.

120hz support please. The game is great but please have a toggle like a “battery save/performance mode” to support ProMotion displays. 60hz is very jarring

Gonna be amazing. This is one of my favorite games on steam and I’m exited to play it mobile!

Very fun, unfortunate late game performance. Very fun, but from levels ~15+ (currently 20 levels) the game suffers from performance issues (choppy frame rates and occasional crashes that erase significant progress)

Five star game done in by broken save/continue bug. UPDATE: 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. 😥

Whacky controls. The core gameplay that makes the game so great is here, but the controls can be very frustrating sometimes.

👍. Just as fun as pc version.

Good factory game. The factory must grow!

good game. it is a very fun and good game u will not get bored of this game

So perfect. This game soothe my head perfectly Must download

Worst tutorial ever. I downloaded the game just to find that the tutorial did not tell me how to play the game. Very disappointing.

A Beautiful Waste Of Time. Exactly what I was looking for. Very fun very addictive. Keep it up. Thank you.

Great game. Super fun and relaxing. But sometimes it doesn’t save.

The worst experience ever. This was the worst thing that experience so far with shapes.io mobile there is only one level and the computer one is way better than this one so I give it a zero rating I don’t want to be mean or anything but try harder next time.

Aaaaa. Good game

plz support iCloud sync savegames. I want to play this game at home on my iPad and on my iPhone when I'm on the move. Plz support iCloud sync savegames.

VERY RECCOMENDED. This game was always a personal favorite of mine, with no cost, no currency, nothing more then pure automation and optimization. Im very glad they made it for mobile!

Annoying bugs. Great game, but currently impossible to progress past a certain point because of bugs making the “Rocket” shape

Lost save. Had to revise down to 3 stars due to losing a save and the saves taking 5+ minutes to load

AMAZZZZZING. I love this game. So refreshing to have a factory game with a simple design. It challenges you while being very relaxing. LOVE IT.

Freemium. Freemium

Super satisfying. I got this game after hearing Scott Johnson of the Core gaming podcast rave about it. It’s addictive and fun and satisfying. Love it.

Perfect. 无懈可击！

Overall a solid game. Rather faithful to the Steam version.. Definitely a solid puzzle/logic game, and the developers did a decent job keeping it close to the Steam version. They did remove the logic layer, making freeplay rather early, which makes since in a mobile version. There were only a few bugs that I’ve noticed, as well as inconveniences of the UI. The first that came up was the zoom. The Steam version, you needed to zoom out a lot to view large areas to look for pieces that you needed, where here, you can’t zoom out that much. This does impact the size of the factories you can build before they are too large for the screen, even on an iPad Pro. The second was when copying and pasting blueprints. There are two ways to scroll. You can either one finger drag the blueprint to the edge of the screen to scroll in that direction, which is slow to impractical if you need to paste on the far side of the map. You can also get lost if you forgot where you need to go. Sometimes I lost factories I was building because I forgot where it was, and I am not allowed to zoom out too far or I would loose the copy (this also brings us back to the zoom problem where you need to zoom out really far to find where your stuff is). The second is a two finger drag of the map, but you need to be careful. It’s very easy for iOS to think you want to zoom out, and if you zoom out too far, Shapez exits you out of the edit screen for the copy and paste. That is actually the third thing. In the Steam version, if you zoom all the way out, you can still copy and paste blueprints. That process is actually encouraged. However, in the mobile version, you can’t. You have to stay in the edit screen, which you are exited out of if you zoom out all the way. The final item is the play field size limitation. To be fair, mobile devices can’t really handle the infinite play field that the Steam version has on a desktop/laptop, which has more system resources. However, when zoomed out, you can see materials, but when you zoom in while on the edge of the map, some of those materials fall outside the screen, and you can’t scroll up to it, despite it being there when zoomed out. There is no line or UI indicator that tells me where the actual end of the map is. Such an indicator would be helpful. My recommendations for improvements would lie in those items. Beyond that, it’s a solid game, and very close to the Steam version.

I love you Shapez IO. This is the best video game I have ever played Again thank you for this amazing game ;) !!!!!!

Great game. I like this game and it it I like heaven

Apple Pencil not working. The games looks great. It’s kind of frustrating that the Apple Pencil only seems to work randomly throughout the game, and only like 25% of the time.

iOS factorio lite. I have been waiting for a mobile factorio like game. No monsters or defenses, but all of that sweet conveyer optimization! Love it

LET'S GO THE GAME IS OUT. W

Fun game. Fun little game that’s worth the price. No ads and $4.99 covers everything. I’ve already gotten a few hours out of it for the price of an ice cream.

Autism approved. I have autism and this game is epic

Not Working. As I try to click on screen only the right side of screen works. My device is just fine and runs other games just fine. (Using a new iPad Air). I try to place belts by clicking on the left side but the game only responds on the right side.

Finally. I have been waiting for this game to come to iOS and I’m glad it’s here.

Looked really cool. Not many factory games but this one is pretty good

Fun but…. This is a fun game it is a bit of a challenge for smart people. But the ADS!!! Like bro, c’mon I swear these ads

Lost everything but progress. Err… was having fun, then all placeables disappeared on a save at lvl 17. Why continue playing if there’s a mystery chance everything except progress gets randomly wiped away?

Addictive!. Hours of entertainment and fun brain challenger! It makes my ASD brain happy and it’s incredibly satisfying :)

The Perfect Mobile Game. Mobile gaming has needed this forever

W game. no comment just W

So good. There is a powerful feeling when you get a full conveyor belt more addicting than actual addictive substances.

I love this game so much. Shapez (then called shapez.io) was what got me into the automation game genre, plunging me into the worlds of satisfactory, factorio, dyson sphere program, mindustry, etc. I loved this game so much and was one of the first games I bought with my own money back on my terrible Chromebook that could basically only run Shapez. The fact that this game is now mobile makes me so happy that I can continue the factory away from my PC. This game means a lot to me and I can’t express that enough.

Doesn’t translate to mobile. The game feels very choppy, if you have the opportunity I would highly suggest getting this game on steam instead of paying 4.49 here for the full game.

Fun, but missing features and bugs. I love this game, and you should play it if you like factorio, satisfactory, etc. There are some bugs when placing conveyor belts among other things, nothing game breaking just a bit frustrating. Also you have to buy the full version to make blueprints (copy paste parts of your factory), and I wish there was an undo function. Overall great game!
