Just tangrams, and not a great execution of it.

It's tangrams. That's kinda it. If you've ever played tangrams before, you know what you're getting here.
Problem is that this isn't a particularly great implementation of it, I've definitely played better. There's no snapping effect when you place pieces, so sometimes you have the right layout but have to keep adjusting them slightly til the game accepts it. And worse, the pieces have a thick drop shadow which is the same exact color of grey as the shape pattern you're trying to place them on, which is confusing and makes it hard to tell whether the piece you just placed actually fits or not.
Besides that, the rest is pleasant enough, but at the end of the day it's still the same exact tangram puzzles people have been playing for centuries, and I'm just not interested enough to spend more time here when better versions exist.
