Five blocks instead of four change everything.

Step into a place where the sun never quite rises, neon spills across the room, and the soft pulse of retrowave makes every game feel like one more night at the arcade.

This is PENTO, a familiar falling-block puzzle built around one simple change: every piece is made of five blocks instead of four.

That extra block changes the way you see everything. Shapes twist into unfamiliar forms, empty spaces become puzzles of their own, and a piece that looks useless at first can become exactly what you need after a turn. Under the neon glow, you begin to read the board differently — not just looking for the next line, but for the shape the whole thing might become several moves from now.

Runs find their own rhythm. Rotate. Place. Clear. Recover. The music keeps moving, the lounge lights up around you, your score climbs, and difficult boards slowly begin to make sense.

Your records, achievements and progress become part of this little retrofuturistic space, with your cyborg hostess there to greet every new milestone.

PENTO also has a history of its own. Its first version was created by Gennadiy Balagurchyk back in 1987 as an office puzzle for his colleagues. The falling shapes were originally built from the Cyrillic letter “Ш”, and before long the office was competing for the highest score. The original game survived on a floppy disk for decades before returning in a new form as PENTO.

Find your own rhythm in a world of five-block shapes, and neon light... Just one more game before you call it a night.
