On October 9th, shapez.io will see its first major content update: Logic wires.

In order to implement them, the game's developer added 8 new levels to the game. He also made buildings at max upgrades about half as slow, but you need less shapes to upgrade. These two things combined will make 1.2.0 runs significantly slower than 1.1.18 runs, and thus we will have to make subcategories for the version you are playing on.

We have a web demo 1.1.18 build in the resources tab. It is currently identical to the current web demo, but without "Buy the game" pop-ups. If you wish to run the game on the web demo, it is highly recommended you play on that version rather than the current web demo. This is also going to be the primary method of running 1.1.18, since it is going to be very difficult once wires drop that you can play 1.1.18 on the standalone version.

Let's talk about that poll we've had up for the past week. Blueprint% won over CopyPaste% by 8:2, even though most current runs use CopyPaste%. For the time being, the category will be named Blueprint% / CopyPaste%. Any% won over Freeplay% by 5:4, and since there currently aren't any Any% runs, it is a much easier decision to just call it Any%.

In the meantime, enjoy the new theming. Speedrun.com default becomes ugly after a while.
