Mars First Logistics

In "Mars First Logistics," players are tasked with building physics-based rovers to transport awkward, oversized cargo across the Martian surface. You must design a vehicle capable of navigating rough terrain without dropping or destroying your payload. The game revolves around engineering creative solutions to complex logistics problems.

"Mars First Logistics" was developed by Shape Shop, an independent game development studio. The game had an early access period before its full release in 2025. Shape Shop focused heavily on creating a robust physics engine to handle the complex, wobbly interactions of custom-built rovers.

Yes, "Mars First Logistics" features a cooperative multiplayer mode. Players can join forces to build massive rovers together and tackle the most difficult cargo deliveries on Mars. This co-op mode allows friends to combine their engineering creativity to solve the game's physics puzzles.

The building system is a freeform, block-based physics sandbox where players attach wheels, thrusters, and robotic arms to a chassis. Because the game relies on a real-time physics engine, the center of mass and joint flexibility of your creation dictate how it drives. You must carefully balance your rover so it doesn't tip over when carrying heavy cargo.
