Slipe
Remember Pipe Dream (or Pipe Mania)? That old game where you put the pieces of pipe in the grid to make a really long chain? In Slipe, the pipework has already been put down for you, you've just got to slide it all into place. Unlike most sliding puzzles where you're just sliding one tile at a time. Slipe forces you to slide entire rows and columns, putting a tricky spin on an old classic.

I love these kinds of games (easy-to-pick-up strategy-types) and am looking forward to trying it...but when I click on either link above I get...a white screen. Is it my computer, or is it the links?
The link is fine, just re-tested it in all the major browsers. Check your browser extensions for a potential conflict. What OS, browser and Flash Player are you using?
Mozilla Firefox. It finally loaded. It may have been just my impatience. Thanks, Jay.
A good puzzle game, that gets rather difficult (but not impossibly so) by the end. The interface and graphics feel well designed - simple enough to not get in the way of the puzzles, but stylish enough that it doesn't grate on the eyes. A minor touch I like is the two-toned tiles, which help give the tiles a rounded look. I only have two complaints here:
- Like Blue Nina, the game started out with a white screen, until the loading screen finally appeared. I'm not a Flash developer, but it seems like the graphics for the preloader screen aren't the first things that the game downloads.
- I'm partly colorblind, and I couldn't distinguish between the blue and purple arrows (and tiles) without using trial and error, or 'puzzle feng-shui'. (Pretty much, 'Which pairing of arrows would make a more interesting puzzle?') Fortunately, there were only a few puzzles that had both colors. Some indicator of which arrows are pairs (such as having both glow when hovering over one) would have been nice, but it's not necessary.
