Play it: Dream of Pixels

You know that annoying person who likes to say that there's nothing new under the sun?

Well slap 'em. And then show them Dream of Pixels.

Human history is the history of innovation. We've always built on existing ideas to create something entirely new. It's what we do and it's why life never gets boring.

Dawn of Play, the team behind Dream of Pixels, took Tetris, turned it upside down - both literally and figuratively - and created something entirely new.

A wall of blocks moves down the screen. A single tetris piece appears in the top left of the screen. Taping anywhere on the wall removes that shape so long as it can fall off the bottom of the screen - it can't be blocked by a block below. Keep chopping away to remove full lines and buy yourself more time. If the screen fills up you loose.

That's it. It's beautiful. And it's great. Play it.

Dream of Pixels is available on iOS and Android for free with ads, or for €2.15 (on GooglePlay at least).
