Your goal is to fit all the shapes into empty squares. You can put shapes from all the sides of the square (it spins if you go all the way to one side)

Very cool! I like this game a lot actually. It's hard, I haven't won yet, but I'm still very much enjoying it. It blew my mind when I could rotate the whole board haha

Wow! That's a clever puzzle game, not just yet another tetris with a twist! The graphics looks good except for the win/lose text. But sometimes I don't know the size of a next piece is not what I expected.

Wow! A lot of people take the mechanics of Tetris, but you really managed to take it to the next level. Great take on the theme. It's very minimalistic in a good way, very hard but also addictive.

Yeah boi. nice game. nice mechanics, totally missed the fact the pieces sink others. for a moment i imagined they will disappear when you fill a line. other than that, great f* game.

This is the first Ludum Dare game I've played that made me want to keep playing. Polish it and make a mobile app. Serious.

Interesting puzzle game. I won once, but I haven't figured out a good strategy yet. One thing that bugs me is that the last piece will occasionally be impossible to put in the board, for example the S tetromino (unless I'm misunderstanding something).

Awesome concept, good execution! The 7x7 & up boards are a litttleee too tough to get exactly perfect, if there was a mechanic (such as tetris) that gave the user some kind of power like storing a piece for later use and can swap it out, that would make the gameplay a lot better (and its already good!)

Music and SFX is my only other gripe. Great job!

@randytayler thanks! I was also thinking about finishing it and releasing on mobile, the concept turned out kinda catchy

@mao yeah, I didn't implement any logic to make sure that level even possible to complete, that task is not very easy, but I will do that for sure if I keep working on the game

@william-corrin when I was playing I alson noticed a need to swap pieces or store one, so will think about that definitely :)

Graphics leave much to be desired, but I love puzzle games, and I think this was the most fun game I've played this jam. Excellent work.
