Originally brought out on the Mac platform Frenzic is an addictive puzzle based game brought to you by the guys at IconFactory and ARTIS Software.

In the game you are faced with 6 outer circles and one inner circle. The 6 outer circles are best described as pie charts that are split into 6 segments. Your objective is to fill these segments with a randomly assigned piece that will be one of 3 colours and appear in the center circle on the screen. The idea is to place the assigned piece into one of the outer circles as quickly as possible. Extra bonus points are awarded if you manage to fill one of the outer circles with 6 segments all in the same colour or with as little colour variation as possible. When one of the outer circles is filled, the inner pieces will disappear and you can start again for that particular circle. As you progress the game becomes quicker and quicker, giving you less time to think about where to place your pieces. You can also unlock bonus power ups to help you, which include Nuke, Slow Timer and Double Points.

The game ties in nicely with an online community where you can set up a profile and see other players ranks and scores, which for me game me more of an incentive to play and improve my score.
