Dream of Pixels: Tetris in reverse!

Dream of Pixels reverses time on the best game of Tetris you ever had: a grid of blocks lies already complete, and you have to unpack the tetrominoes that fell to create it.

The iOS version is coming out on Thursday, but you can play the prototype—which lacks the full game's beautiful graphics‐for free on the web. At the official website, developers Dawn of Play promise 5 types of play, amazing music, and a "Zen"puzzle mode for people who like to take their time. [via Free Indie Games]

I wanted to make a joke about Tetris being backwards in Russia (with the double humour of it being developed in Russia in the first place)… but I couldn’t make the situation fit into the meme. Bet someone else nails it :(
