Want to asplode neurons you didn’t know you even had? Then play this awesome little game called Z-Rox. It is super-challenging and will make you think really hard.  When’s the last time you had to do that? It will make you cock your head and squint your eyes and scrunch up your face and bite your lip and keep you up at night wondering out how to solve any of the fifty mini-puzzles it presents you with. OK, maybe that’s just me, but you may experience similar reactions.

I am so taken with the brilliant premise for a game – it is at the same time elegantly simple, yet deviously difficult.  Imagine seeing the world through a 1-pixel high, 200-pixel wide slit. In order to see what anything, you’d need to scan it vertically; would you be able to make out simple objects like letters or symbols? If you think this sounds easy, you’re in for a surprise!
