Blocky is addictive. Or it would be if I was any good.

If you’re the type that loves the free internet puzzle games, you’ll want to play Blocky. Actually this is the sequel, Blocky II (the first one is simpler, but the idea is the same).

Metafilter has the info along with some pro tips:

Like the straightforward instructions say, click and drag a rectangle containing four corners of the same color to release all the blocks within the rectangle. All smilies within the rectangle are released, as are any bombs and hourglasses. Release all the smilies before time expires to pass the level.

Finally, what kicks up the addictiveness factor is that even when you lose a level you can start over at the highest level you have reached - so, it can either be approached as a game (try to get the highest score possible by starting over at level 1 each time) or as a puzzle (keep at it until you pass all 49 levels).
