Founded in 2018 by Tobias Springer, tobspr Games is a full-remote indie studio with one clear mission: become the leading developer and publisher in the factory and automation genre. With shapez and shapez 2, the studio has built one of the standout franchises in the space, shapez 2 currently sits as the number 4 factory game by units sold, and it's still in Early Access with plenty of room to grow.

About the game

It's the successor to shapez, the number 23 top rated game on Steam in 2020, and shapez 2 has already climbed to number 12 best rated Steam game of 2024. Along the way it picked up first place for Best Overseas Game at Indie Play 2024, a Debug Game Awards nomination for Best Gameplay, an Excellence in Game Design win at DevGamm 2024, and nominations from the German Developer Awards for Best Indie Game and Best Technical Performance.
