Quinn is an implementation of a popular falling-blocks game which, according to its owner, must not be named here. Written specifically for Mac OS X, Quinn features a neat user interface, perfectly integrated with Aqua, and a smooth look and feel for best user enjoyment.
The goal was not to reinvent falling-blocks games with yet another modification of the rules, but to preserve the simplicity of the original idea.
Still there’s everything you might expect in Quinn—including a two-player mode, network play with Bonjour support, online server and highscore lists, and five different multiplayer rules.
"buttons dont work"
i downloaded this on to my new macbook pro only to find that the game wont let me move the blocks or rotate them. instead, the blocks simply fall to the bottom middle. no matter how much i hit the arrows the blocks remain unphased. this is so frustrating. doesn't anyone know the problem?
