'ORBB - A casual, relaxing, and challenging ethereal space experience game'

'ORBB - A casual, relaxing, and challenging ethereal space experience game' was temporarily free this past weekend. Unfortunately, it's back at $.99. The object is to jump from planet to planet and catch all the stars.

The graphics are fun and great. ORBB is not really a thinking puzzle. But there is some strategy.

Green stars must be collected before red ones.  Purple planets can only be landed on once.


What I really like: you can never die in this game.  There are 60 levels and I've done 47 of them. ORBB is definitely cool. ORBB was designed by Kyle Yamamoto & Howard Go.

Update 3/24/15: I solved all the levels. Good fast & fun.

Rects

Do you remember Clickmazes BoxUp? It's an outstanding series of puzzles from Andrea Gilbert. I never solved all of those levels. But I hope to one day!


A new version by Volodymyr Klymenko is called Rects. It's the exact same concept, but just different levels. There are 36 levels and I've solved them all. However, I was convinced that 33 was impossible. My confession: I used a hint for that.


The first 15 levels are really too easy, but that's okay, because I like feeling smart.  Those last 5 levels are superbly designed. Now I have to get back to Andrea's version and not feel as smart while attempting her Nasty & Beastly levels.
