About tobspr Games
tobspr Games is an independent game development studio from Germany that was founded in 2018 by Tobias Springer. The company began as a hobby with a focus on webgames: the studio’s first game was a tower defense game called "YORG.io". After it became clear that a much larger player base could be built on Steam, the concept switched to a hybrid approach: a demo on the web and full version on Steam.
Since the success of shapez the focus is now 100% on Steam and the studio launched shapez’ successor, shapez 2, into Early Access in August 2024.
