Well, this seems an appropriate place to plug the phone/tablet app we made with these puzzles, called Noodles 2.

It's the same puzzle style, with square, triangle and hex shapes, with some extra mechanics - disappearing pieces, infinite grid (it wraps around).

gereleth, great job on the puzzles - I played a few of the bigger hex puzzles and it was real smooth. :)

I just found Noodles 2 the other day when searching for a new puzzle game to play. I'm absolutely addicted to it; I've already completed hundreds of levels. Wish there was a way to "lock" a piece in place (like via long press) so I don't accidentally rotate pieces I've solved. Great game!

Hey I just mentioned your app in another comment! I don't suppose your app is open sourced haha?

Big fan of the original many years ago. Will definitely check out the sequel

Noodles and all the Conceptis games were the only puzzle apps I never deleted off my phone

Nice graphics, I love the soft lines.

I have wrapping infinite grid variants too, but disappearing pieces? Intriguing =)).
