So yes, I'm re-posting this, sorry if it's too soon, but I wanted to thank you for your amazing feedback in the comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44103839 I've added the following features since we last spoke: - iOS app (why?

    Angularis is a game similar to Tetris, but based on triangles instead of squares. Which is why it also has diagonal movements.

Maybe it can be a nice little challenge for you. I'd be happy to receive some feedback. Thanks!
