Alexey’s Dwice – The Creator of Tetris Puzzles Us Again

Tetris, a game upon which the entire “falling objects” genre was created has touched us all. Maybe I’m giving Tetris too much credit? The game only runs on about every platform ever created. From cellphones and calculators to PDA’s and video gaming consoles, almost every electronic device capable of playing a game has seen a tetrad fall down the screen. So when Tetris creator Alexy Pazhitnov (sometimes transliterated to Pajitnov) launches a new puzzle game with the help of casual game service Wild Snake, it was bound to cause a stir.

“It is a great honor to work alongside someone as well respected as Alexey, ” said Andy Nick, owner of Wildsnake Software, “We look forward to producing more titles along the same lines and quality levels as Alexey’s Dwice in the near future.”

In the new game Dwice, players match together falling blocks of ice that are the same shape. Stop the avalanches from reaching the little houses at the foot of the mountains by destroying the ice blocks. Just click two blocks of the same shape! Sounds easy? With the Quest Mode and the Arcade Mode the game offers endless amount of different challenges. Journey through 60 levels in Quest Mode to unfreeze our blue planet and save the world. For each avalanche stopped the world becomes a warmer place to live in, and the inhabitants of the little houses at the foot of the mountain become ever so grateful! Or take on an endless challenge in the Arcade Mode, where avalanches keep coming and you have to stop them all, the longer you stay alive, the more difficult it gets, and the more points you get! So if you have a few moments be sure to grab the demo and give it a spin.
