That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I am surprised that http://www.dealbundle.com did not qualify to make this list.
Just curious as I use deal bundle every couple of days and found it be a great source for shopping and sharing deals with other people in the community.
