The new online version of Pentago offers you several game modes, you against the computer, just with to players or you can Email Challenge (here you have to opportunity to challenge friend on a game of Pentage. Each player will receive an email when its his/her turn to move). At this point of time it's not possible to play real-time with another online puzzle player, and that's really a shame as this would really add a lot of puzzle pleasure.

Game play is easy as the rules can be explained in a few words. Place a ball - flip a square - get five in a row.

Magic Pen is a very original puzzle game but it looks a bit like it's for children but after a few levels you will find out it's very hard to solve each level. The first thought I had when I played this game is that it was based on a video I saw on Youtube a few years ago called MIT Sketching (4m43 sec).

Object is to get the the red ball (or red square in some levels) reaching the flag. This by drawing several shapes, the shapes that you draw are affected by gravity, friction and inertia. You need to use these properties in your advantage. Draw objects in such a way that they push the ball towards the flag. This can include using pins and hinges to link two objects together.

Video walkthroughs for Magic Pen levels are available via FreeGameNews.com:
- Levels 1-11
- Levels 12-26

Happy Puzzling!

Chronotron is a nice platform puzzle game in which you have to interact with past versions of yourself.

Chronotron is about a robot that goes back in time for some reason. Use your time machine to interact with past versions of yourself. The game records your movements. When you use the Time Pod to travel back to the beginning of the level, you see a past version of yourself doing exactly what you did before entering the pod. You can create as many copies of yourself as you need to solve the puzzle, but be careful not to change the past too much. If you interfere with a past self's ability to return to the Time Pod, you cause a paradox.

Use the arrow keys or WASD to move, space bar to lift crates and use your time pod. Happy Puzzling!
