99 bricks

It's basically reverse tetris, how high can you build with 99 tetris blocks.

The trick seems to be to keep all your columns linked together as much as possible.

I seem to have a problem with that game.

It will be rock solid, 0 gaps for about 50 blocks, then it will just suddenly start swaying and splitting in half.

Also, everyone check out http://www.kongregate.com/

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

That was fun :)

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Audiotorium. A really fun addicting puzzle game. I'm stuck on Spring 3:6. Beat it.

This is worth playing, try it.

I was going to post this as I just came across it yesterday. I'm not surprised someone here already saw it as it's a really good one. Try it if you haven't yet.

Took me about that long on the first time through, and 350 seconds on the second try.  Cute game.

Fun game on Kongregate.


Description: "What would Death himself do if he were surrounded by ultra-cute critters? Kill them, of course! You play the reaper, who needs to kill red cuties in order to stay alive. Killing other cuties will help charge super powers that make it easier to get to the red cuties. How long can you survive before the dwindling cutie population stifles your life? You can’t help but have a bloody fun day in this addictive puzzler."

I tried to give this a go but something's frakked. I get the question speech bubble but it's empty and clicking on responses doesn't seem to do anything at all.

Space Game kinda like Tower Defense but different

Fun game to waste 10 minutes on.  Mondays are slow.

This goes here. It's a fun game, I wasted about 3 hours playing it today.

is it still centered around "juggling" at high levels, deleting and re-creating a tower to fool the pathfinding? If so, no thanks.

This is what most TD games devolve into. Which is a shame. Fieldrunners on the iPhone could've been excellent if you didn't have to juggle on fucking easy mode for some of the final levels. Lame. Bad Design, imo.

Edit: Or rather, I suppose you could eventually drop enough lightning towers and build them up by level 100 in fieldrunners to not have to juggle, but that's really not fun either.

I fucking hate juggling. I prefer actual creative maze construction, not a single wall where you delete and re-create one tower.
