What do you get when you mix a Tetris-like puzzle game with a medieval narrative? It would be something like today's featured game.

The newest game from the folks at Clevermedia is called Devine Climb. Presumingly you are a suitable suitor for a beautiful princess and your goal is to climb to the top of the tower. You method of ascent is to grow a rope of vines to the top. Hence the misspelled Devine in the title, get it? As you move up the tower, you will be able to peek into windows and watch the knight's tale progress. And a twisted tale it is.

You start with a single vine at the bottom of the tower. Vine pieces fall down the left side of the screen. Drag them on to the bricks of the tower. A bunch of complicated little rules define how you must place the vine pieces in order to advance. This complexity make this game both an adventure and a challenging puzzler.

We like this game for it's Tetris-like puzzle aspects joined with the fun of uncovering the knight's story. Although the complexity of placing the vines sometime leaves us just wanting to ask the princess to let down a rope.
