Shape Sender Deluxe Adds Level Editor Demo Ahead of Fall Release

Dead Teapot Games and Dear Villagers have revealed more of Shape Sender Deluxe, a narrative physics puzzle game coming in fall 2026. The game is planned for PC through Steam and Epic Games Store, plus Nintendo Switch.

The new trailer was shown during Frosty Games Fest. At the same time, the Steam demo received a Level Editor mode, so players can start building small puzzle layouts before release.

Sendy comments on the puzzles

Shape Sender Deluxe is built around a mascot named Sendy. The character talks directly to the player while they solve physics-based puzzles and experiment with different ways to move shapes from one pipe to another.

The full game is planned with 90 levels. Dead Teapot Games describes the solutions as open-ended: clean setups, strange contraptions and rough ideas that somehow work are all part of the same puzzle language.

The demo now has a Level Editor

The updated Steam demo includes dedicated levels, dialogue and a limited toolset for creating custom stages. Players can use the editor to make their own challenges, share them with friends or turn successful solutions into GIFs.

Game director Tana Tanoi said the team wants players to bring their own creativity to every level. The tone fits the studio’s background: Dead Teapot Games is based in Wellington, New Zealand, and its members previously worked around puzzle and simulation projects such as Mini Metro and Mini Motorways.

Shape Sender Deluxe is scheduled for Q3 2026 on Steam, Epic Games Store and Nintendo Switch. A public demo is already available on Steam.
