It's been a while since I did an AGameAWeek Gold.
There's not been a lot of stand-out stuff popping up on the old time-machine. Sure there's been a whole pile of games, but nothing that's really been noteworthy, so for the most part I've kind of been ignoring this section of the site.

Today, however, a lovely little game popped up, and I spent a good hour playing the thing! Whoops!!

2009 - TetriPong

I'm actually surprised that this game is only actually 4 years old!
A game which takes Tetris and adds Pong.
At it heart is a good old-fashioned Gameboy-Tetris styled Tetris engine. I tried my best to make it a good proper solid engine, and it's stood the test of time.
On top of that is a flailing Pong ball which destroys your game, and a slowly raising water level which will kill you if it reaches the top.
The best part is, of course, that you can turn all of that off, and still play a perfectly good tetris clone.

Good stuff
