Puzzle Pirates is the well-deserved winner of this year’s Webby Awards.
One of the nice things about the game is that Three Rings have shown 1) that the interesting thing about a multiplayer game is not the amazing 3d or the big swords, but the interaction with other players, and 2) that coherence is overrated. So the swordfights are not button-mashing or rolls of dice – it’s just battling it out in a falling block puzzle. Much better. Harrr!
