About two weeks ago, I set out on a challenge to make a truly difficult mobile, puzzle-arcade game. The genre itself was unexplored, but anyways, what came out of this challenge was ORB.

Seriously, ORB challenges the user to control a ball, and navigate through an infinite set of levels, filled with obstacles, and numbers. The goal is to control the physics of the world to get the ball to meet a particular number requirement produced by the game. It might sound easy, but in reality, this game is hard to master. Over time, more mechanics get introduced, leaving the game with infinite replay-ability — bound never to get you bored.

On a side note, the game has potential to speed up your ability to do mental arithmetic. Though the game starts with addition, it slowly starts introducing newer obstacles that both challenge you to think on your feet, and challenge your brain. I swear this is the only fun game (besides Lumosity, le scammers) is bound to get your IQ up to 160.

Developer build V1.
Gameplay of V3. The new screenshots are coming!

You can test the beta on a PC or iOS device now! Please keep in mind that I am just a student, and cannot work on the game full-time, so it may take me a while to get back to you.
