There are an infinite number of addictive flash games that share the same basic premise as Sling: solve puzzles using logic and simple physics.

Give it a chance. See if it doesn’t grab you.

The internet is full of Jesper Bentzens. None just like him, but just as talented in their own individual ways. Each one makes me step back; somehow ashamed.

Please take the time to appreciate one man’s hard work - one man’s brilliance.

This is maddening.

It’s also incredibly rewarding.
