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.

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!

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
