ShapeOminoes is a puzzle game where you fill in abstract shapes with Tetris-like pieces that's available now for iOS

ShapeOminoes is an abstract puzzle game from Crazy Oyster Games and it's available now for iOS with an Android version on the way very soon.

ShapeOminoes takes its inspiration from games such as Pentomino, Tangram and just a good old fashioned jigsaw puzzle. So it's basically all about fitting shapes together. Each level will have an abstract image that you have to fill in using multiple pieces of the same shape.

But it doesn't end the first time you fill in the picture with the Tetris like pieces. Once you've successfully filled in the image the first time, you'll discover that each stage has a further two sub-levels to complete. Each sub-level will have its own different piece too, so it's kind of like remixing each stage with a different shape.

 

It won't just be a case of dragging the pieces – or ominoes to use their correct name – into the larger shape though. You may need to rotate them so they slot in the right way or mirror them to fill in the gaps correctly. This can be done by tapping once for rotating or twice to mirror the piece.

There are over 120 levels in the game, which if you take the sub-levels into consideration that actually amounts to 360 puzzles to solve. It also won't make any attempt to rush you or punish you for trying out multiple solutions. The levels aren't timed nor do they have a star ranking based on the number of moves you make, so you can just enjoy having your brain teased on your daily commute. 

ShapeOminoes is available now on the App Store for $0.99. The Android version is expected to be released soon and you can pre-register over on Google Play if you're interested.
