BRICKS is a remake of the Polish 'Klocki' game. The original game was a small wooden
board that could be arranged into several puzzles. The goal of the game is to move the
red master brick to a certain position. Sounds easy but it is a real brain teaser since
you get more points if you need less moves.
  
BRICKS was inspired by the Microsoft 'Klotski' game.
Levels 1 to 24 are adopted from this game (with minor changes) while
Levels 25 to 48 feature new elements making BRICKS more attractive and difficult!


The pictures below show level 46, the set up screen and the scoreboard.

HOW CAN I PLAY BRICKS ?

BRICKS is an MSDOS application (the program is written in Borland Turbo Pascal 7.0).
All you need is an MSDOS computer, a mouse and 775 KB disk space (a floppy will do).

Now the best: BRICKS is absolutely free, but it's not forbidden to send me money ;-)
