If your March Madness bracket has already let you down, consider shifting your focus to omgTANGRAM, a game created by independent Kansas City developer Nathan Walker that is competing in a different sort of bracket. From more than 9,000 entries, Walker’s game was named one of 64 finalists in Microsoft’s Windows Phone Next App Star contest.

Over the next two weeks, omgTANGRAM will go head-to-head with the competition’s 63 other finalists in a bracket-style elimination determined by fan votes. 

Using just seven pieces, users must “fill in puzzle silhouettes to reconstruct the forgotten world of Tan.” The tactile puzzle game is the first venture of Mooncalf Games, LLC. The final round of voting ends April 8.
