How does your game match the theme?
This is a puzzle game which tries to capture the theme of tetris, since both are based on managing space to fit tile based shapes on a grid.
You should manage the space to match pentominoes to form larger squares. With strategy you can make 5x5 squares to gain maximum score.

very polished entry and interesting concept! definitely seems like something you could release commercially without a lot of extra work. graphics are plain, but solid. soundtrack is minimal, but what i like most about it is the sound effects are in the same key as the soundtrack so if you time your movements to the beat it adds to the soundtrack. i honestly had more fun with that (and humming along my own additions) than clearing blocks lol. would be really neat if you added a mode that combined rhythm into the gameplay. otherwise, the sound effects got a little chaotic/discordant if i tried to play faster, so it was nice that you added the mute features.
Very balanced gameplay, simple but neat visuals. Definitely a game, which would appear next to tetris if was developed in 90's!
Very solid and well thought out. Good QOL features (the matching preview highlight is great). It took a bit to get comfortable with the control scheme, but really nice when I got used to it.
Good stuff!
Nice to see an appearance from the pimientos. Game play is great and a unique take on the clearing lines formula.
Just different enough from tetris to be a refreshing take. This one was pretty fun
Would have liked another song, but the main mechanic is pretty fun. Great art and juice as well
Very minimal and meditative. I've thought of a concept similar to this before but wasn't sure if it would be fun. Well, its fun!! Good job, and nice level of polish for a jam
Very well done game! I could belive it really was on the system, it would look nice laying alongside tetris. It's polished to the maximum in its simplicity.
Very nice soundtrack/SFX, almost a walk on piano vibe.
