The game's called Shapeout, and if you watched the gif you could probably see what the deal is -- you rotate the blocks and form a shape to remove it from the board. I released it on Android, but unfortunately I don't have a Mac to release it on iOS. For those without an Android, I compiled a desktop version of the game if you want to try it (some functionality such as the leaderboards won't work).
Here are the download links:
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hourfall.shapeout

Let me know what you think!
EDIT: Amazed by the response! I've already started working on an update to address some of the things people have said. It should be out within a day or two of this post.
i use Greader to have a bunch of my RSS feed available offline. i usually play a quick game of shapeout, it's really great for short gaming sessions while waiting for a few minutes.
dev thread on reddit they've been good with customer feedback and updates too. if you like tetris you'll enjoy this.
Shapeout! It's made by a fellow redditor, /u/jespur. It fulfils the need for structured, shape-based games like tetris. Link for the lazy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hourfall.shapeout
Tetris type gameplay with various shapes.
easy to learn, can be a simple relaxing game or you can go big and try to create massive shapes to clear for more points. no IAP, no ads, no bloated permissions, just a fun free game.
currently have this happening with an android game called shapeout. similar to tetris, very simple, and no permissions required.
used to see the same effect with bejeweled, but i won't install it on my phone since they've turned into a bloated game with ads and i assume data collection with it's intrusive permissions.

8th Move:

And ICE:

I'd also recommend:
Asphalt 8
Asphalt Nitro
and Need for Speed: No Limits
If it doesn't have to be free, I'd recommend:
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
GTA III
GTA: Vice City
and GTA: San Andreas.
Yes, it's on Android! I'd really appreciate that.
