Created by Taro Ito, a Japanese game developer, Domino Pressure is a domino toppling game available on his website Gamedesign. The object of the game is to find the domino that, when pushed, will make all the others topple and squash the tomato.

To add pressure, the author added a 20 seconds timer to the game, meaning you have 20 seconds to find and click on the correct domino. If you pick the right one, you will start the next stage with again a 20 seconds timer otherwise you will lose one second off the timer for each domino that’s still left standing on the board. The game is over once you have lost all seconds off the timer.

If you select the correct domino, a few seconds will be added randomly to the timer, which can never exceed 20 seconds. You can also skip up to three levels by clicking any of the small tomatoes in the bottom right of the game window.
Hundreds of configurations are available in the game: they appear randomly and most of them are designed to give you trouble locating the one starting domino.

Twenty seconds are usually enough to find it, but it is very easy to make a mistake and lose several seconds off the timer. Hint: skip a level after making a mistake and get a bonus to increase the remaining time. Your final score is simply the number of stages you were able to complete.

With simple but elegant graphics and some “ Domino Pressure” added by the timer, this game is perfect for a 10 minute break; you should spend much more time if your goal is to enter the top ten! Have fun!
