Falling Formulas v1.8 (update)
25-Sep-2004 A tetris clone for thinkers! Form mathematical equations in order to get the blocks to disappear. Falling numbers, operators, equals signs, bombs and more require rapid thinking in order to get the two sides of an equation to match up. CompletelyFreeSoftware called it a "must-have" for Tetris collectors. What's tough about it: This game will provide you with the ultimate gymnastic workout for your brain. Not only do you need to be able to do lightning-fast math calculations, you have to try and keep track of several formulas in your mind at the same time. |

Domino Dash v1.3
01-Sep-2004 On each level your task is to arrange the dominos so that once the first one is pushed, the resulting chain reaction will knock down every last domino. But these are no ordinary dominos... with 12 different types of dominos to play with, including floaters, tumblers, splitters, and exploders. This game is no pushover! Purchase here and get a free game! What's tough about it: A very nice game and nice concept. The first set of levels may seem easy, but it will just get you used to the game. The later puzzles are very tough to figure out! |

PuzzPower 2.1
01-Aug-2003 PuzzPower is a puzzle game, based on the 'ice' parts from Chips & Challenge, and the graphics look a lot like Supaplex. It contains 30 levels, which are split in 3 big parts: Easy, Medium and Hard. Each part contains 10 levels, and though the last ones are really hard, the game's learning curve is really good and it'll teach you how to save them slowly. Why we liked it: We're not sure what is so appealing about the game, but it just makes for a very enjoyable puzzle-solving experience: simple but appealing graphics and animation, simple rules and game-play but with challenging puzzles. The only drawback is that there is only 30 levels. |

Brix v1.0
01-Dec-2002 A visual puzzle game in which you have to move matching picture blocks together (vertically or horizontally) in order to blast them away. There should be no icons left, or the problem is not solved. Sometimes it is necessary to put together three icons at once! Why we liked it: Another great game in the "Visual-Puzzle" category and this one is free. The graphics are decent and the puzzles challenging. Similar games in the shareware category cost $20 or more. |
