If you enjoy puzzle games you'll want to keep an eye on puzzlez - a shapez game, a spin-off from the shapez series from tobspr Games.

In puzzlez – a shapez game, players construct shapes inside of handcrafted 3D dioramas to solve optimization-based puzzle-boxes that progress from simple production chains to multi-floor logistical problems involving shapes and fluids. Players can also use an in-built puzzle editor to craft and share their own puzzles with the community.

On developing a puzzle game, Tobias Springer, Founder at tobspr Games, said "We set out to create a standalone successor to the puzzle DLC for the original shapez, so puzzlez began life as a planned DLC for shapez 2. However, we realized that this would require players to own the full shapez 2 game just to experience something we’d designed to stand on its own, so we decided that since releasing it as a separate title doesn’t change the price and would give us far more creative freedom, we’d make puzzlez its own game. Our aim is to grow puzzlez into a series itself and I think the gameplay will be quite intriguing to shapez fans and puzzle game enthusiasts."
