Handmadegame's unusual game "Rooms" is an odd mix of sliding tiles puzzle meets point'n'click adventure, the kind of thing you don't see very often/at all, but it really does work, and it all becomes very addicting, especially with some nice music thrown in for good measure. Be warned though, the load time is lengthy and it would be useful to remember that patience is a virtue, and it would also probably be a good time to go make a cup of tea or coffee, or grab a cold beer from the fridge [subbed by Merel].

UPDATE: Well it looks like Handmadegame's bandwidth is already exceeded :( If you've got it cached already you're lucky, otherwise I guess just try back later... (I did get the zipped version but at over 29Mb a pop, I'm not itching to mail it out).

ANOTHER UPDATE: The site is back up and running now, but you can no longer play on line, you can download the game to play though. If you don't have a Flash player, just open the downloaded SWF file in your web-browser to play.
