Vivid Bricks

Vivid Bricks was one of those straightforward Flash games you'd find in the late 2000s. It fit right into that era of simple, colorful browser games you could play for a few minutes between tasks. The screen was clean, the colors were bright, and it loaded almost instantly. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick puzzle distraction.

You control a small cannon at the bottom of the screen. Colored bricks slide in from the left, and you click to shoot a colored ball from your cannon at them. The main goal is to clear the board by matching three or more bricks of the same color. You aim carefully, trying to set up chain reactions. If the bricks reach the right side, the game ends. The pace starts slow but builds tension as the rows stack up. It feels like a quiet race against a creeping wall of color.
