Now whether or not you've tweeted in support of #BlameDrewsCancer, you can take the lazy way out by playing the new Tetris-inspired Twitter game called TweetBricks. Built by Mike Demers of 9Astronaunts, TweetBricks is creative way to waste away the day and still help spread awareness about this amazing cause.

TweetBricks is the #BlameDrewsCancer game that lets you stack bricks of tweets and attempt to remove rows to earn points. It's pretty much a spitting image of Tetris, but with the tweets of your choosing serving as bricks. So, you can either play with your friends' tweets, hashtag tweets, your followers' tweets, your mentions (@replies to you), an individual user's tweets, or everyone's tweets.

There's nothing overly complex about game play, but it is quite fun to see tweets of your liking trickle down the screen. Plus when you lose, you can have the option to show your support and send out a blame tweet or tweet your score.

Sure there's more involved Twitter games like Spymaster, Bank Raids, and Trivia on Twitter, but we can't think of a better way to mix Twitter, Tetris, and social good. Plus, should you get caught playing too much at work, you can always just claim that you're doing your part to help the American Cancer Society.
