Seeing this in the RJ&E Bundle was a real blast from the past!
I actually have a physical version of this from the 80's (that I managed to rummage out to confirm that it really is the same thing). It doesn't seem to mention the name Tangram anywhere (it's a "Hi-Q Puzzle" called Pythagoras and the pieces are green plastic) but it does come with a fold-out booklet with 179 silhouettes and a lot of them are different to the ones here - certainly the letters and numbers are and I reckon a lot of the more abstract ones are as well.
This has me wondering if a scan of the booklet would be of any use/interest to you? I don't know if it's easy/possible to add more puzzles in a update or something,
Anyway, I'm so glad I found this - it's really well-executed and so much more convenient than fiddling with actual blocks (and a somewhat fragile booklet). I'd completely forgotten about these puzzles but, thanks to you, I can say that I'm still fiendishly good at them nearly 40 years on (dear gods, is it that long >.<)
Im making a student proyect of something like this, i'd just saw it and feels like: Hm, ok it's good, but mine is a lot better because mine has less colors, sounds, effects... even the meshes fuses one in another and looks horrible.
Actually its like my proyect warped into the future. Quite annoying but now I need to test it!

Just played, and I love it. Thanks for the game
Hi, very cool game, I was wandering if you were kind enough to give free steam key for people who have the game on itch
As another person who owned a set of Tangrams as a child, I'm loving this! It was so easy to just pick up and play - well done!
Fun, well made game!
My only gripe is the auto complete is a little too powerful. It's easy to force a wrong shape into the wrong hole by spinning the piece.

Very polished, and just nice to play. Great for just shutting off and relaxing for an hour.
Ahhhhhhhh well done to the team for putting this together. Really been enjoying this after work this evening!
This game is very soothing.
Thanks for making the game and supporting BLM. I've played games like this before but this is a pretty good version.

Perfect game!

It's not labelled but once you're on the puzzle screen pressing the lightbulb icon in the top left will enable and disable drop shadows.

Hopefully we can serve as inspiration! Thank you for the kind words and for supporting Black Lives Matter.
A great game! Congrats for the work!
