Spryjinx
There are many power-ups and bonus items that appear randomly on screen. These include paint buckets, lightning bolts, glue bottles, bombs, and magnets. You can choose from different boards, difficulty level, and the number of players. You can also play against a friend in hot-seat mode, although the controls are too awkward for two people. There is also a level editor for designing your own boards if you find the default one too easy. Overall, Spryjinx is a fun, unique, and challenging freeware gem that requires both quick reflexes and quick thinking. Highly recommended for Q-Bert fans everywhere.
Note: The author is working on the 3D version, which, judging from the Beta, unfortunately doesn't look or feel the same as this 2D classic. Hopefully the final release will be better, however. You can check the game's progress at the official site below.
