Sometimes simplicity is key. Not always, mind you, we once tried carving a working computer out of a single piece of wood and it was shit – but Thor Towers is a demonstration of clean, simple excellence.

All Thor Towers asks you to do is press the space bar to drop a block. That's all. You drop a block onto the ground, and then another one on top of that. And then another one. And you keep going and going until you can't go any further. If you're like us, the end point of Thor Towers will come when your aim becomes so staggeringly poor that your tower sways backwards and forwards like your uncle at the end of a wedding reception and you keep missing the target. But then, if you're like us, you'll keep trying to beat your previous best Thor Towers score. For hours. And eventually the Thor Towers soundtrack – the one that sounds like it's from a channel 4 documentary about diets – stops being so annoying that it'll make you want to smash things up, too.
