Garden of Orbs, a kind of cross between pinball and billiards, is today’s Amazon Free App of the Day, and it’s labeled as appropriate for all ages. From Amazon:
Garden of Orbs is an ENCHANTINGLY ADDICTIVE game that blends realistic physics, amazing graphics, and lots of challenging levels into a game that is easy to play, difficult to master and impossible to put down. Similar to a round of trick shot billiards or a game of marbles, Garden of Orbs provides hours and hours of game play for all ages.
In free-play mode, you are given unlimited lives and shots to clear target orbs from the garden…and with enough attempts…any level can be defeated. In other play modes, the challenge becomes how efficient or how fast you can clear the orbs to “beat” the levels. Perform well enough in each level in all game modes and you can earn the illusive crystal orbs available in each level. Continue playing to improve your combined high score and beat your friends on OpenFeint!
FEATURES:
• Realistic physics
• Colorful HD graphics
• 4 gardens and 100 levels of gameplay
• 3 game modes for each level
Garden of Orbs only has an average review rating of 3/5 stars, and most negative reviews cite the difficulty of placing the crosshair controller with your finger: once your finger is on it, the crosshair controller and whatever’s immediately next to it can be difficult to see. If you use a stylus, this isn’t an issue. This trailer for Garden of Orbs demonstrates gameplay:
