Our take on ShapeGrid
The page gives equal billing to 70 puzzles and endless competition, but the stated addition of a new world is a future update rather than part of the current campaign. That makes the advertised scope partly dependent on planned post-release content.
What is ShapeGrid?
ShapeGrid is a casual puzzle game built around movement through tiles with different shapes and colors.
A move is possible when the next tile shares a shape or color with the current form; entering it changes the player’s shape and color. The campaign includes 70 fixed puzzles arranged across four worlds, with each world introducing a mechanic before the next stage of progression. Endless mode creates a random board for every attempt, requiring players to plan moves while trying to reach a higher leaderboard position. Four visual themes are available for players who may find color-based play challenging. The page also states that a new world is planned as a free post-release update.
