Geography + Tetris = fun

Back in May, a lot of you enjoyed the "Name the 50 states" game I posted for Memorial Day. If you liked that and/or you like Tetris, here's a game called Statetris. Whitney at the Pop Candy blog wisely chose not to divulge her score on the easy level, and I think I'll follow her lead.


Statetris

Watch out for the northern states; you have to move fast!

    ah ha

    apparently i don't play games often enough on this trusty mac to know how to manipulate falling states of the union.  thanks for the tip about the arrow keys. i would have been clicking-and-dragging absolutely nothing for a while.  :)

    3.58...

    Ok i guess 3.58 is not particularly brilliant... but eh i'm not even living in the States so i should survive yes? Anyway since i'm a geek i had to retry it so the second time i did 3.01 woohooo and the stupid machine told me i would never be able to beat that time... Guess i know what i'm going to do for the next hour...

    Thanx for the entertainment!

    Darn! 8.30! In my defense,

    Darn! 8.30! In my defense, I'm European and I kept whacking Arizona on New Mexico. Literally about 10 times. But on the plus-side, my geographical knowledge of the U.S. has increased immensely.

    2:48 the second time

    Once I figured out that you don't have to go around states that stick out at the top. And Tash, I kept whacking AZ on NM too the first time, because of the angle thing that I'm not used to in normal tetris. Off to try the Med level...
