Grid16- Today's Time Waster

Grid16
Grid16 is a unique combination of mini games for gamers with short attention spans (like us). You start out with a grid of 16 squares, each with its own game. All you need are your arrow keys and good reflexes as the game's "camera" moves from mini game to mini game.

For instance, you may start out playing a Brickout-type mini game for a few seconds, then switch to a game where you must move a small square to avoid walls. The game steadily increases the speed at which it moves you between mini games, which gets tricky since you pick up the games where you left off when you start the mini game again.

If you fail a game, that game's grid square is removed from your 16 squares. When you're all done (when you have no grid squares left), you get a fancy pyramid graph showing your percentage of three skill sets: prioritizing, timing, and reflexes.
