Fall your way to a high score in Plumet - Time Waster
Friday afternoon is not the time for a complicated Time Waster. What could be easier than racking up points by falling?
Guy walks over gap, gravity kicks in, guy falls. Down. And then down some more. Oh, snap! Guy scores massive points and takes over first place on the leaderboard! That's as complicated as it gets in Plumet (clearly the old Anglo-French spelling).
As you fall, you'll level up and unlock additional features - like a slew of additional characters so you can retry your epic descent as a ninja, Santa Claus, or an alien (among others).
The controls are simple, and easy to do while you pound your celebratory week-ending Guinness: left and right to move and down to roll. Yes, rolling is sweet and extra sweet if you're a ninja, but it can get you into trouble. Time it wrong when the scenery starts speeding by and you'll be squashed against the top of the screen in the fetal position.

I remember wayyy back in 2003 when I was in a middleschool math class playing this game on my friends TI-83. It wasn't until I got my own graphic calculator for 8th grade algebra that I could become totally addicted to it. I still play it along with other classic titles like Mario, Connect Four, Frogger, Fast Tunnel, PacMan, and Phoenix in my college calculus classes. However, I've always wanted to play as a ninja instead of a falling ball.

Beat me to it, FallDown for MirageOS was one of the best ways to waste time in math class after a test... That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this timewaster too.

Looks like a copy of an old game called 'Icy Towers' that was installed on some PCs at various computer stores.
