If you hava a Java capable browser, you can take DeadEnd for a test drive.

It is your goal to find a path out of a dungeon by pushing massive blocks of stone out of your way. This is a very tricky task because the stones are so heavy that

(1) you can move them only one by one, and

(2) you need space to step back and take a run.

You have to develop a strategy and move the pieces in the correct order, otherwise the stones will block the way to the exit. A piece pushed to the wrong place could be an obstacle for removing another block from your path.

There are 41 levels of increasing difficulty. Blocks with special properties may appear at higher levels.

DeadEnd is "uncrippled shareware" for € 10 or US$ 10. This means that you can download the full version of DeadEnd, but that you are legally and morally obliged to pay the shareware fee if you decide to keep it (see the readme file for details).
