It's reminiscent of a mini-game in The Sims: Bustin' Out for the GBA, and Apple fans swear to the addictive nature of it.

We're talking about Frenzic, a puzzle game available for the Mac OS X. Like Bubble Bobble and Tetris, the game offers addictive fun to Mac users in a refreshingly new way. It's quite fast-paced, and some Frenzic fanatics have even claimed that playing the game can induce labor in pregnant women. We're still not sure what to make of that piece of news, though.

In Frenzic, a player has five lives at first. To earn points, players must place pie pieces in any outer circle according to their position whenever pie pieces appear in the inner circle. Completed pies are cleared from the board and if you do not place a pie piece before the timer expires, one life is lost. There will be bonus points given when the fewest colors possible are used in completing a whole pie.

The more circles you complete with a single color, the more you earn lives and bonus points. There are advancing levels and growing bonuses available also as you progress through the game. Of course, the game ends when all lives are lost, and no, we don't know of any cheats for this game.

The game, made by ARTIS Software, is out now. Frenzic fanatics everywhere suggest various ways on how to be successful at the game, but remember: if every piece could be placed correctly, you would never lose a life and the game would go on forever...
