Expect action.
Shapes Into Crime puts you in control of a geometric shape in a world where every character is also a shape. The game is played from a top-down perspective. Your job is to pull off heists: get into a location, deal with guards and police, take the loot and get out alive.
Between heists, you unlock story fragments that connect into a larger narrative about the criminal underworld. The story is there if you want it, but the main focus is the action. Combat is real-time, not turn-based. You will need to aim, dodge and manage your resources to survive each job.
Top-Down Action
Control your shape from a top-down view. Move, aim and shoot in real-time combat against guards and police.
Heist Missions
Each mission follows the same structure: infiltrate, fight, loot, escape. The challenge scales as you progress.
Story Fragments
Between jobs, unlock pieces of a larger criminal story. How much you uncover depends on how far you get.
Combat System
Fight guards with weapons you find or buy. The combat is straightforward: point, shoot, do not get surrounded.
Shape Characters
Every character in the game is a geometric shape. It is a stylistic choice, not a gameplay mechanic. Enemies are shapes, allies are shapes, you are a shape.
Resource Management
Ammo, health and loot are limited. You decide when to fight and when to run. Poor planning gets you killed.
Top-Down Action: The camera sits above the action, giving you a clear view of the layout, enemy positions and escape routes.
Heist Structure: Every mission has the same goal: get in, get the loot, get out. How you do it is up to you guns blazing or careful and quiet.
Story Unlocks: Completing missions unlocks narrative fragments. The full story is there for players who stick with it.
You are a shape in a world of shapes. Some shapes have guns. Try not to get shot.
