Curious about group theory take on this. It seems that symmetry helps to easily exclude multiple shapes at the beginning of each round.
- I briefly go through each shapes
- Anchor on a particular shape
- Check other shapes based on that shapes
- Realize the number of cubes is the distinguishing factor not the shape itself
- Exclude the first focused shape from future comparison
- Try to compare 2 shapes randomly
- And after 4 clicks of match attempts I find a match
2nd Game
- Go through the first 2 rounds with ease as they were essentially in the same row or the same column
- Second game I get confused as the obvious matches aren't obvious
- I time out
- I didn't even notice how the timing worked in the first game
3rd game
- I try to count the number of blocks between each 'lines' of shapes
- But for shapes that have 3 or more turn of these lines matching them is very difficult
I know it's not the point, but I find it way easier to just brute force it. Got 31 pairs matched that way (three matches in the last two seconds, even).
10 shapes 12 sec/shape (2nd try, no brute-force, mobile) 16 shapes (3rd try) 18 shapes (4th try) 24 shapes (5th try, no brute-force) P.S. I had 7 years of art school in addition to engineering

- I quickly glance each shape
- Select the ones that "feel" more similar.
- Scored 13 on my first run
Sometimes I think thinking less is better. Same for a lot of sports, things that require careful motor control and fast-pacing.
Scored 7 my first go but that was aided by one or two that were more or less had the same orientation and could spotted pretty easily.
I thought I'd be good at this since I do 3D editing all day, but apparently not. In my first try I couldn't get even one. Practicing some more I got up to 4 in a game. I wonder if this game can distinguish between people who have rich mental imagery and those who don't?
Once you do it a couple times, you can skip a lot of the conparison

Ouch. Thank you so much for noticing this! Looks like I need a more robust test.
Ismorphism is hard to detect, even in reduced spaces. Really hard in arbitrary graphs. For a "fast filter" generate the center of gravity for each (just the average of the voxel points as doubles) and abs+sort the resulting vector and assume they match if the "Sorted Cog Vector" matches. It will have false positives sometimes but no false negatives.
Small bug: occasionally there are multiple matching pairs, although only 1 works (screenshot: https://ibb.co/JpRp0Pm ) Additionally, the auto rotation itself is mostly confusing, could be better to enable manual mouse rotation. Cool game nonetheless! Edit: The bug seems to be that shapes with different "DNA" can still be isometric in some cases: https://github.com/0xf00ff00f/rotator/blob/master/demo.cc#L4...
