About the Game

Organize the shapes on the golem's back and trigger the machines. Depending on the shapes you carry, you can trigger different actions like moving the rooms, rotating lasers, and much much more. Essentially it is like a machine circuit that is left to you to alter to solve puzzles with the shapes you have.

What Are These Machines?

Machines will run logical operations like checking your shapes, adding or removing shapes if they can, switching the location of the shapes, and more.

Currently, Shapeguard has 13 different machines and more are on their way!

Modules Are A Thing Too

Modules are only interested in doing their job, they are connected to the machines. If a machine works, it also works. A mover module that is connected to an adder can move a door or even the map if the shape is added to the player.

What Do Some Stuff Shapeguard Has?

  • Adders: Adds the shown shape.

  • Removers: Removes the shown shape.

  • Total Removers: Removes every shape.

  • Detecting Areas: They detect if the player is entered, and activate the connected machine.

  • Observers: If the player's shape alignment is the same as the machine, it works.

  • Lasers: They are like 'Detecting Areas' but you can block their way with stones.

  • Slot Stones: You can add shapes to this stone like the player.

  • Holes: Some holes block both the player and stones way, some only block the stones.


    And more will be added!

    The shapes you possess and the order in which you activate machines are crucial. Master the shapes and solve the puzzles to become the Shapeguard.
