Shape Wars

A real-time strategy game for up to four players on one screen.

A fast local strategy game. Build a base, send waves of shapes across the map, and take it from up to three friends or the computer. Most matches are over in a few minutes.

The game

Quick real-time strategy

Every player starts with a base in a corner. Your buildings keep sending units into the fight, the money you earn goes back into more buildings and upgrades, and you decide where to push. The last player with a base left wins.

Build

Grow your base

Add barracks, archery ranges, worker bays and tank factories, then level them up. When the fight turns, spend on damage and shields for your whole army.

Take ground

Hold the resource points

Points across the map pay out to whoever holds them. Push your army onto them and the money comes in faster, which pays for the next wave.

Turn it around

EMPs and the Commander

When a wave is too big to hold, an EMP wipes it off the board. Or buy the Commander, fly it into the fight with its rockets, and finish with a self-destruct blast.

On the couch

Four armies on one screen

Up to four players share one Switch, each in their own colour. Play every army for itself, pair up, or team up against the computer.
