Tetris + Jenga = 99 Bricks

It seems flash games that use physics are every the rage these days. We’ve talked about a few before, but this one… this one right here, 99 Bricks? Easily the best out of every of them.

Testing

This is apropos of nothing in particular. It has just been a while since I tried to post an embedded YouTube video. Once upon a time these were car-playing in some browsers; a source of some irritation. I would quite like to posting links this way, however, so would be grateful for feedback on mileage. In return: Tetris.

Frenzic Frenzy

If you haven’t played Frenzic, go do so. It’s like a drug — in fact, I’m fighting the urge to play as I write this. Part Simon, part Tetris and part Meteos, Frenzic is a frantic and frenzied fun-fest, and it certainly deserves this system replacement icon set by standby artist Louie Mantia, the most recent recruit to the Iconfactory (congratulations!). The set utilizes the fluorescent purple, green and orange of the Frenzic pie set against a midnight blue for a truly exciting and eye-catching t
