In plain words

Shape is a letter-shaping game launched in 2015 where players manipulate letters into different forms. The game is designed for people interested in typography and word puzzles who want an interactive way to engage with letterforms. It stands out as a game focused specifically on the visual and structural properties of letters rather than traditional word gameplay.

From the sources

I'm really sorry; I've put a lot of effort into making this game run on as many platforms as possible. Unfortunately, I am unable to cover all scenarios. The game works on Google Chrome , Firefox , Safari , Opera and Internet Explorer 9 . If you try one of those and still have problems, let me know. Thanks for your interest in Shape Type!
