Can Wall of Force be shaped into a circle?
Can Wall of Force be shaped into a circle?
Nope. Flat, Vertical plane. You're looking for Resilient Sphere.
The caster can form the wall into a flat, vertical plane whose area is up to one 10-foot square per level. The wall must be continuous and unbroken when formed. If its surface is broken by any object or creature, the spell fails.
A curved wall is not flat.
I did see that language; I just wanted confirmation, since it is a significant change from 3.5 Wall of Force that I couldn't find anybody explicitly talking about. Thanks for answering!
I'm pretty certain the 3.5 wall of force couldn't be shaped as anything other than a "flat vertical wall" either.

The wording between the 3.5 version and the Pathfinder version of wall of force is exactly the same, with the exception of Pathfinder adding in hardness/hit points for the wall.
I'm pretty sure 3.0 allowed you to shape it into either a flat wall or a hemisphere.
