Sadowski also points to the light but strange creatures at Boring3D, where many similar species live:

Visual game: Fruit Fall is a bit of fun, especially since it's intuitive -- I'm better at it if I let my hand rotate the fruit without thinking about it much. Ten levels to this free demo, with more fruits that you have to get lined up with their compatriots, a la Tetris.
