Tetris'd - reverse Tetris Time Waster

I've seen a ton of Tetris variants in my day, and Tetris'd is a wild one. It's not even a puzzle game: it's a platformer, with Tetris blocks as the platforms. You play a tiny, acrobatic person (a ninja, maybe?) who can jump and climb on the blocks as they fall, and the object is to survive for as long as possible without getting squished or falling off the board.

The controls are tricky: there are only arrows, a grab and climb button, and a button to jump onto a midair piece. Theoretically, you could get pretty high in the air by jumping up onto a series of falling blocks, but I found the controls a little too unresponsive to do that effectively. It's still a fun game, though, especially when you manage to pull off a clutch move to escape certain death. Like in real Tetris, pieces fall faster as the game goes on. Unlike in real Tetris, lines never clear, so you just have to keep climbing up and up and up ...
