### 4/5 — Fun, but I’d like a couple of updates

*2021-12-30, version 1.7.8*

It’s a fun game, but I have two requests: first, update it so things like pop-up words (“perfecto!”) fit on newer (iPhone 13) screens. 

Second, and more importantly: please make a mode where you can keep the number of colors constant! Once I get above level ~16 or so (6 colors) my success gets too random. I’ve had half the screen cleared and then the new ones drop in so mixed up that there’s only one combo available to tap!

### 5/5 — Yea!

*2019-04-05, version 1.7.8*

So happy my favorite game works again... Thrilled it finally caught up with the major iOS updates. I was really bummed when an upgrade rendered it useless.  Been playing this for years... relaxing and fun. :)

### 5/5 — Thank You!!  - I Love You Guys!

*2019-01-07, version 1.7.8*

You are so awesome to finally bring back my beloved Orba with 64 bit support.  I have missed this game.  I know it’s not a complex game but it was always pleasing to get in a quick game.

### 5/5 — Welcome Back

*2018-12-20, version 1.7.8*

Finally an update to allow it to be played on newer machines.  A classic.

### 5/5 — HD

*2018-12-04*

Отличная игра! Очень здорово, что она обновилась! Уважаемые разработчики, добавьте, пожалуйста текстуры высокого разрешения, а то на iPad Pro все шарики с лесенками, напрягает зрение.

### 5/5 — Update at Last!

*2018-12-04, version 1.7.8*

Thank you for updating the game to 64 bit. My favorite relaxing, no stress game and I can finally play it again. As others have said, addicting but in s good way, not frustrating or stressful or annoying like all others. Thanks for the update!

### 5/5 — Hurray!

### 5/5 — Thank the maker!

*2018-12-01, version 1.7.8*

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-08-13, version 1.7.8*

So glad we got it back!

### 5/5 — What an utter delight!

*2022-10-30, version 1.7.8*

Just managed to transfer this from my old iPhone to my new iPad mini. So delighted to have installed this once more. A wonderfully simple yet beautifully relaxing game. Make sure this never falls off the store!

### 5/5 — Obsessed

*2022-10-04, version 1.7.8*

Orba is that game I always go back to. For a while we couldn’t get it, and I missed it. I actually didn’t update my iPad so I could keep it!! It is beautiful. Simple. I play without the sound, but I love the sound too. It’s a great, challenging, calming game. If you play just a tiny bit slower, you can raise you score a lot. I get over 1M now regularly by being a little more mindful. Enjoy it.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2022-01-19, version 1.7.6*

Lots of fun. Colorful. Relaxing! Soothing!

### 5/5 — Simple, soothing, addictive, ad-free
