A pentomino puzzle on a wooden board, for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo. Each level hands you a rectangle and exactly the pieces that fill it: three for Penta 3, one more every level, up to all twelve for Penta 12.
Every level asks the same question: can you cover the rectangle with exactly these pieces? These are the app's real screens, not mock-ups.
Drag a piece from the tray onto the board and it snaps to the squares, with an outline showing where it will land. Tap it to give it a quarter turn; the flip button mirrors it.
Each series starts with three pieces on Penta 3 and adds one piece a level, all the way to Penta 12. The cards show each series' first pieces and how far you've got.
Fill the last square and the pieces hop in a wave, your time comes up, and the next Penta is one tap away, with one more piece to fit.
Inside a series, each level opens once the one before it is solved, and your best time sits next to every level you've cleared.
Settings shows all 240 levels as one wooden board, series across and Penta sizes down. Each square lights up in its Penta's colour once you've solved it.
The board, the pieces and everything around them, built to stay out of your way while you think.
A hint shows where one piece goes on the board as it stands. If a piece you placed is in the way, it says which one; if only a fresh start will do, it says that too.
Every level comes with three. Run out and you can buy a pack of 10, or watch a short video for 5. Spare hints work in any level.
iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, in portrait or landscape. The board turns to make the most of the space it has.
The best time on every level, the fastest for each Penta size, and an optional on-screen timer for when you want the pressure.
Cream paper and pale wood in light mode, warm walnut in dark mode. Katamino follows your device.
VoiceOver reads every piece and the board, Reduce Motion calms the animations, and the screens rearrange themselves for larger text sizes.
A wooden click and a light tap each time a piece lands, a chime and a ripple of taps when you solve. Sound can be turned off in Settings.
One in-app purchase unlocks all 24 series for good, and Family Sharing extends it to your family. No subscription.
No account, nothing sent to our servers. Your progress stays on your device, and the only ads are the videos you choose to watch.
On iPad and on an unfolded iPhone Duo, the series grid opens out and the board grows to fill the space.
