First solid idea I had for the theme was a Tetris variant, where instead of being given a piece and being able to rotate it, you're given one with a particular rotation and are able to shapeshift it between the different tetrominoes. So not the most exciting/original idea, but I didn't have any others and it seemed feasible in scope - and I've never made a tetris game before.
I lost hours chasing bugs around in circles, so it doesn't have the intended menu, difficulty settings etc. But you can play it, so, you know, please play it :)
Arrow keys or WASD to move, Z and X or , and . (comma and full-stop/period) to shapeshift.
Made in Unity with the very handy usfxr plugin for sounds. The single box png was drawn in Photoshop, and the background tile was from some generator on the web. Music made with Terry Cavanagh's Bosca Ceoil.
Monday edit: fixed a couple of bugs as per comments, and added builds for Mac, Windows and Linux (the latter is untested).
