Indie developer tobspr Games has officially announced puzzlez – a shapez game, a brand-new standalone title set in the acclaimed universe of the hit factory-builder series. Slated for release on Steam in 2027, puzzlez trades sprawling infinite maps for compact, atmospheric 3D dioramas, delivering a focused, bite-sized puzzle experience.
From Factory Automation to Diorama Optimisation
While previous entries like shapez and shapez 2 focused on scaling massive, automated supply chains across limitless space, puzzlez takes a different approach. The upcoming standalone title challenges players to construct shapes within handcrafted 3D spaces, solving optimization-based puzzleboxes.
Players will start with straightforward production chains, but as the difficulty ramps up, they’ll navigate complex, multi-floor logistical challenges featuring intricate shapes and fluid mechanics.
Key features announced for puzzlez – a shapez game include:
- Handcrafted Puzzles: Dozens of tailored logic challenges that progress from beginner-friendly tasks to complex multi-layered logistical problems.
- 3D Dioramas: Build, route, and optimise production lines across vertical floors in tight, self-contained 3D environments.
- In-Built Puzzle Editor: Players can design their own custom shape challenges and share them directly with the community to keep the brainteasers coming.
- Accessible & Deep Gameplay: Built to welcome everyone—whether you’re a veteran automation engineer, a casual puzzle enthusiast, or completely new to the genre.
Tailored for Puzzlers of All Skill Levels
With no time pressure or threat of enemies, puzzlez aims to offer a satisfying, cosy, and brain-teasing experience. Every level can be solved in multiple ways, encouraging players to revisit puzzles to optimise their setups and refine their solutions.
Whether you’re looking to unwind with self-paced logic challenges or test your engineering brain against the community’s hardest custom creations, puzzlez is set up to be a standout addition to the puzzle genre when it lands on PC in 2027.
