help identifying a game
jban4us:
I need help identifying a game that my girlfriend vaguely recalls.
She says it was a computer game (PC) from about 10 years ago. I guess you have a ball and you control it with the arrow keys and it bounced. There are grey colored blocks that you try to bounce against and they either disappear or change color. I showed her arkanoid and she said that wasn't it. She says each level was different.
Here's a picture that she drew for me of what it might look like:

Sounds like Cameltry, but that's an arcade game.
Also, you actually rotate the maze in Cameltry, and the ball just falls by gravity.

I can recall a lot of Arkanoid knock-offs over the years for the PC. Break out, maybe? From what I remember, the blocks changed colour more often. You can find lots of Java versions online for her to check.

Its not the bonus stage of Sonic the Hedgehog? ;D

I think she's describing a sort of Q-Bert-esque style of game....
