- Art of Japanese Crosswords — It’s a game. Moreover, it’s a Japanese game. Created not so far (1987) by the Japanese puzzle-master Tetsuya Nishio, the game, however, soaked up the ancient culture and civilization. It’s an art. The pictures are simple, the drawing is logical, not creative; but when the puzzle is solved, you suddenly see some small piece of art created by your mind and your hands from the plain and unpretentious…
- Image Repainter 1.1. Power over Colors — How often have you thought, or said, or cried «What a good photo, but it SHOULD be slightly greener!» (or «slightly brighter», or «slightly more colorful»). Easy cases, like «slightly brighter», can easily be fixed with Photoshop or something similar but simpler. But when it comes to doing a bit more complex (like «my seaside photos should to be blue, not gray!»…
- ProSaver Screensaver Manager 1.0.1, Screensavers as Art — Years ago, in the times of single-task OSes and old monitors, the «screen-saver» concept was introduced as a must (because if the same picture remained on the old screen for too long, the picture would physically damage the screen and create «burnt-out pixels» on it.) Years have passed, and modern monitors have almost no need for «saving the screen». Nevertheless, screensavers are still alive and are becoming some kind…

- Museum of New Psychedelic Art — Although screensavers only occasionally appear on our displays, they greatly add to the aesthetic appeal of our computers, especially now, when the functional role of screensavers has drastically diminished due to the overall dominance of LCD monitors.

- Matryoshka 2.40, Colouring and Fun! — Matryoshka doll is one of Russian traditional handycrafts; typically it means a set of nested dolls, each one made of two parts. The Matryoshka game takes from this famous doll the idea of nesting, and makes a funny puzzle from the idea. Not very doll-like, so don’t think it’s a «game for girls», even a mature mind will find a task worth thinking here! At the beginning of the game you have…

- Mandala Painter, An Entertaining Art — Even the prettiest flower on earth is actually a great combination of simpler shapes (petals), symmetrically repeated around the circle. This is also true about other «tricky» masterpieces — snowflakes, shining stars, and even the most unrealistic designs capturing our eye through the glass of a kaleidoscope. Too sad — all of those exciting figures soon just pass away, and the best we can do about that…
