iConvert: web-based icon converter
Ever see an icon you like, but when you go to download it, you find out it's in the wrong format? You could copy and paste it into an image editor, and save it in the correct format, but some editors don't save .icns, .ico, or other popular icon types. iConvert does, though, and it's web-based. It also works with Windows, Mac and Linux-compatible formats.Just upload a file in any one of the numerous formats iConvert accepts, from .png to .tga. It will spit out download links for other formats, and you can just take the ones you need. I tried uploading a .ico file, and got links for .hqx, .icns, and 6 different sizes of png. So, don't despair the next time you find some great icons you don't think you can use: iConvert might be able to make them compatible with your system.

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