Shaping Up

Shaping Up is a logic puzzle game wherein players assist a character named Covemonty in solving a series of spatial challenges. The core objective involves maneuvering disparate shapes to fit them into their corresponding holes, a task that draws inspiration from the precise mechanics of classic box-pushing games. The experience focuses on determining the correct orientation and path for each object to progress through the levels.

The gameplay revolves around the novel concept of shape sorting applied to a grid-based environment. Players must push blocks—such as squares and other polygons—until they align perfectly with specific designated pits or doorways. This adds a layer of complexity to the standard movement formula seen in the genre; it is not enough to simply move an object from point A to point B, as its physical geometry must also match the destination. The puzzles gradually increase in difficulty, requiring careful planning to avoid getting objects stuck or blocking necessary pathways.

This title was created by the developer JustImagineIt and serves as a fan-made entry connected to the Covemount series of games.
