This is the classic mechanical maze and marble toy game brought up to the iPhone times. There are concentric rings with a single entrance between each ring and the next. There is a set of 12 marbles(ornaments) The objective is to tilt the iphone in different directions so as to roll the marble in the desired direction - the effects of gravity will roll the marble when the iphone is tilted. Continuous smooth manipulation is required to move the marble in the right direction. You will need to be deft and maneuver the marble at the right angle and speed to get it through circles and gather all of them at the center of the maze. Note that if they are rolling along edge touching a ring, the movement maybe different from what you expect although it is physically correct.

You don't shoot the asteroids. You touch them. Tilt your device and your little ship drifts — really drifts, with the weight and momentum of the arcade original. Then you reach into the swarm with a finger and rocks burst under your touch. It is a strange and lovely feeling, and it gets its hooks in fast. Lean away from a rock closing on your left. Pop it. Pop the two pieces it becomes. Keep the chain alive and your multiplier climbs; miss and it's gone. Somewhere out in the dark a saucer notices you and starts making its way over. Push far enough and the sky fills up: splinters everywhere, a saucer's shots crossing the field, your ship sliding through a gap you're not sure was there. That's the good part. Game Center leaderboards and a pile of achievements, including one you're not going to find by accident. Built for iPhone and iPad, edge to edge, with the moody hum of deep space behind it.
