Category: puzzle
Description: Brickshooter is a small puzzle game, where you'll have to clear the central area from different colored bricks. Three or more same color bricks that touch will vanish. You can shoot bricks into the playing field from the fringes.

Deliantra 0.9967 New 6 May 08 19:33
submitted by karambolposted by nath
Category: rpg
Description: A derived from Crossfire free MMORPG.

Deliantra is a free software, cooperative multiplayer RPG and adventure game, much similar in style (and setting) to nethack and moria (It derives from Crossfire project), but is fully graphical and runs in realtime. It is set in a classical medieval environment with ubiquitious weapons and magic.

Large world to explore (multiple continents, over 4000 manually designed maps, hundreds of monsters and countless variations of generated content) and complex (16 unique races, 17 classes, 40 skills and hundreds of spells to choose from and combine with each other) is what makes the game special.
The gameplay is open and sets very few limits on character development. And of course a lot of fun is to be had by playing cooperatively with others exploring the same world.
