I have actually published 99 Bricks on Binary Joy already but I like it so much I thought I should mention it again.

99 Blocs is a brand new physics based Tetris style affair. It all starts off quite simply. Stack up the Tetris blocks as high as you can, in fact you can use your Tetris skills quite freely to start off with. Creating your first line is where the confusion starts though. The line doesn’t go away. This soon makes sense when you realise that the screen is scrolling so that the tower does not reach the top…

The objective in 99 Bricks is to make the highest tower you can with the 99 bricks from the title. This takes precision placement, a steady hand, and a fast mind.

The game makes excellent use of physics to make the blocks stack up before toppling to their doom. Clumsy moves are swiftly punished with the stack collapsing. You really do need to plan ahead to make things work as expected without them falling apart.

Play 99 Bricks now, you’ll never look at Tetris the same again.
