atari2600land has updated his single and two player simultaneous play variant of a very well known Russian block game.

Release notes:

Bug fix for B mode. Also, I changed the way the block looks for being able to go down or not. This results in the block not flashing a lot when it sets into place. This also means that there’s less time to figure out if you want to move it or not. Let me know if there’s any bugs or it doesn’t work on a Harmony or anything else.

Farox ported the Head Over Heels Remake by Jorge Rodríguez Santos, Santiago Acha Jiménez and Davit Masiá to Pandora. The original Head Over Heels is a classic game, initially made by Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond.

Wikipedia has some wonderful information about the game, so it would be waste of time to rephrase everything – here we go: The game introduces an original concept: the player controls (initially separately) two characters instead of just one. The two characters have different abilities (Head can jump twice as high, control himself in the air, and fire doughnuts from a hooter to paralyse enemies; while Heels can run twice as fast, climb certain staircases that Head cannot, and carry objects around a room in a bag), which become complementary when the player combines them together after about a sixth of the game. Compared to its predecessors, the game offers unique and revolutionary gameplay, more complex puzzles, and more than 300 rooms to explore.
