ShapeEscape is the first real game I made. I made it in high school when I was just figuring out game development on my own. It became a super fun project to work on and I ended up making a bunch of levels for it.

Design Thoughts
I started making ShapeEscape my senior year of high school when I began having an interest in game design. I had a simple idea at first. Just a picture of the level layout. That layout ended up becoming level two of the game. It encapsulated the core mechanics of the game perfectly. The player starts as a cube with simple movement options. Then they must find the next shape that will help them progress through the rest of the level, often times backtracking once a new shape is found to make it to areas unreachable before.
