I've just released the first update for Planaris 2+, version 1.1!
The major new features are:
Controller support! You can now play the game with a controller in Steam Big Picture Mode... There are official bindings for both the Dualshock 4 and the Steam Controller, and other controllers should work as-well as long as you set the appropriate bindings in steam (or load community bindings setup by someone else). If you want to play the game with a controller, I'd recommend doing the tutorial again first (by selecting it from campaign mode) to learn the basics.
4 New levels added to campaign mode... Get those stars!
Some minor changes/tweaks include:
Fixed an issue with the Dedication achievement being improperly awarded.
You can now navigate the menus with your keyboard.
Made one of the songs that plays during gameplay a bit longer... to reduce repetitiveness.
That's it for now... As always, if you have any feedback or find any bugs, head on over to the community forum and let me know!
Planaris 2+ Public Beta v1.1 (Controller Support)
I've just made live a public beta for Planaris 2+ that adds controller support, and I could use your help testing it!
To opt-in to the public beta right click Planaris 2+ in your steam library and open up the settings, and in the "Betas" tab select "Public Beta".
Currently there's only official support for Dualshock 4 controllers... Although any type of controller supported by Steam should work with the proper binding setup (there just isn't an official control mapping for other controllers... yet).
If you find any bugs, or have any feedback, please do let me know in the community forums.
Thanks, and I hope you're enjoying Planaris 2+!
Planaris 2+ launches on Steam!
Planaris 2+ has just launched on Steam for Windows!
Planaris 2+ is an enhanced version of the browser/mobile game, Planaris 2... It's a game where you place polyomino shapes on a grid to match lines. Planaris 2+ has many improvements over Planaris 2 such as new levels, steam leader-boards, and steam cloud saves.
It is $5.99 USD with a 25% discount for the first week.
Version 1.1 of the game, which is already in development (and almost ready to go!), will include controller support... I'll be doing a public beta test of that soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that! The beta should be starting in the next week or two -- with the update planned for late July/Early August, depending on how things go...
Feel free to post any feedback, reviews, bug reports, feature suggestions, etc on the community message boards, and I'll do my best to stay on top of them -- I am a solo indie developer, but I'm determined to make this game as good as possible and I'd love to hear what you think of my game!
I hope you enjoy Planaris 2+!

Planaris 2+, an enhanced version of the hit browser & mobile game Planaris 2, is coming to Steam July 9th!
Planaris 2+ is a tetronimo clearing game appropriate for casual game fans of all ages... It has mechanics you can learn in minutes, yet are deep enough to provide a challenge to even the most skilled gamers.

It's a standalone Windows application... Which means better visual fidelity, better fullscreen/4k support, and in general a better experience all around.
It supports steam cloud saves, steam achievements, and steam leaderboards.
A bunch of all-new levels, some of which have added mechanics such as gravity, alternating dual-color shape placement, and additional piece shapes to place.
Small QoL features such as an indicator that shows you when & where the next lock will spawn.
Controller support will be added in v1.1(Most likely sometime in late July-early August, with a public beta test in mid-July).
Planaris 2+ will be on sale on Steam for $5.99 USD, with a 25% discount for one week after launch.
