About the game

Build experimental sorting systems to separate, transform, and route flowing shapes in this minimalist physics-based automation puzzle game.

Original Steam description

Shape Sift

Shape Sift is a minimalist automation puzzle game about separating, transforming, and routing streams of abstract shapes.

Randomized flows of circles and squares pour into your system. Using a collection of experimental tools, you must manipulate shape properties and guide them into their correct collector rings while maintaining purity and flow.

Some shapes are heavier. Some bounce unpredictably. Others must be transformed entirely before they can be collected.

Build systems that:

  • Separate shapes by color, size, weight, and behavior

  • Convert circles into squares and squares into circles

  • Control flow rates and prevent collector contamination

  • Experiment with physics-based interactions and emergent behavior

  • Unlock additional feeds and increasingly complex shape combinations

Every layout becomes a balancing act between efficiency, stability, and controlled chaos.

Features

  • Physics-based shape sorting and automation

  • Experimental tools including magnets, fans, converters, filters, and flow control devices

  • Abstract minimalist visual design

  • Multiple shape properties and interactions

  • Open-ended problem solving

  • Increasingly complex shape streams and collector requirements

Can you maintain perfect flow?
