Freeware Game Pick: Tetroid 2012 (Carsten Waechter)
Tetroid 2012 is basically a Tetris remake packaged with twenty songs, contributing over a hundred megabytes to the download size. The game itself is decent enough but comes with an epilepsy warning for liberal use of flashing images. Hold the S and down arrow key to drop a piece instantly. When the circular indicator on the right is full, players can press the S key to activate the Breakout mode.

Comments
If 110MB is too steep for you, consider getting the smaller version instead (48MB). Only difference is a lower bitrate encoding of the music.

Is anyone else having issues getting this to run? The game locks up on me every single time right on the main menu. Just freezes, but the music keeps playing. Does it both in windowed and fullscreen... (-_-')

Ok, so now I got the game to start, but still having problems. A lot of the time, right after starting, the game will suddenly go to the high scores as if I had lost. This happens usually before I can even get the first piece to the bottom. Other times, when it works on occasion, it will suddenly do this after playing for several minutes. I will try to contact the developers for assistance...
