Simple little game since I was a bit busy this weekend. Place shapes in the grid, tiles disappear if they are in a long enough line. Try to survive as long as possible before you can't place any more tiles.

I like the concept, and the game is fun to play, even though the controls were a bit sticky (why can't I drag-and-drop the tiles, and why do they snap to the top left instead of the center?).

You can spam rightclick on tiles to cheat the game, but I liked the idea of the game! Solid work! (maybe some improvements in the graphics and audio department would be nice)

if i couldnt cheat the mechanics this game would stay a lot longer. had really fun trying it out.
if you ever decide to give this game a polis(and bring it on android where i can see a great future for this idea) please message me!
solid game and hit the theme pretty good!

A cool take on the tetris genre. The main problem is that it's really unintuitive to place tiles. The main thing that would help is to *always* show the tile being placed, perhaps as an outline, or perhaps showing its intersections with current tiles in a different color.
