Bastet (Bastard Tetris) (Version 0.41, released May 13, 2005) - bastet.pet 10.6 KB
"For people who enjoy swearing at their computer, Bastet (short for Bastard Tetris) is an attractive alternative to Microsoft Word." (taken from
http://hublog.hubmed.org)
Have you ever thought Tetris(R) was evil because it wouldn't send you that straight "I" brick you needed in order to clear four rows at the same time? Well Tetris(R) probably isn't evil, but Bastet certainly is. >:-) Bastet stands for "bastard tetris", and is a simple ncurses-based Tetris(R) clone for Linux. Unlike normal Tetris(R), however, Bastet does not choose your next brick at random. Instead, Bastet uses a special algorithm designed to choose the worst brick possible. As you can imagine, playing Bastet can be a very frustrating experience!

Biniax is very simple arcade/logic game with unique gameplay.
The gaming field is a 5x7 grid, filled partially with pairs of elements. Every pair consists of two different elements combined of four possible. You control the box with an element inside. You can move around the field on empty spaces. You can also remove pairs of elements, if you have the same element as the one of the pair. When you remove the pair, your element becomes the other element of the pair and the score is increased. The gaming field scrolls down and your goal is to stay as long as possible on the field. At the last line, if you can not take the pair in front of you, the scrolling will move your block out and the game will end!

Finding the door is easy because all you have to do is hold down the shift key and move the view around the level. But getting to the door is the tricky part. Don't be fooled by excess bricks placed throughout the level, because more often then not you either don't need them. So experiment around a bit, fall into traps, and get lost a few times, you'll get to the door eventually. Oh and if you get stuck just press the [ESC] key on your keyboard and select "Restart" to restart the level (costs 25points to restart level).
