June 2, 2005 - Mac Games and More has published another free game for Mac OS X. The game is called, “Nervous Breakdown,” a brick wall game where a player uses a ball to break down a wall that is progressively growing and moving downward. The ball begins slowly and as the game continues, it increases in speed, and the wall increases in size. Nervous Breakdown breaks away from others of its kind such that during game play the gamer has only one life and has only one chance to play the level without dropping the ball.
