I had to play two games to understand how the domino you have to match is determined. At first I thought it was random. I'd suggest you add a label somewhere explaining how that works, otherwise a perfectly good and playable game.
Same as errorage, After I worked out how it's matched it was pretty fun, I'd recommend putting some instructables in your submission description if you cant get it in your game.
Although not entirely related to the game itself, I feel it's worth mentioning that if you're going to color the background of buttons, it may be worth setting the font color as well, because my default font color of white made it impossible to read what was on the buttons.
Nise simple concept. At first I hated a bit, because i thought it was complete luck to get the right domino to match my dominoes, until I notoced, that the top dominoe represented the endings of the (invisible) chain. It would be nice, if you could decide to which side to attach when there are multiple ways (When the domino at the top is the same, as the one, you want to place).
Once I figured out what I was suppose to do and how to win the game was simple and fun. Should have spent a few more hours creating an instruction screen or tutorial.
5 for theme, but nothing much else, except it was interesting to read the Dev Diary. While source code itself isn't exactly a good example of how to code, it's completely easy to understand.
I guess the double-dominoes you just get to remove for free? That part confused me a bit, it was a little weird to be just thrown in and have to figure things out, but then that is more minimalist. It's nice to something so simple and compact though. Great entry!

"Pixel Dominoes.exe is not a valid Win32 program"
This clearly shows that the basis of a good game is a good gameplay.
Otherwise nice small game!
I too had a bit of trouble figuring out what determined the next domino, but I figured it out fairly quickly.
Overall, good job. My best score was 13
Everything fits the theme very well.
