The balls are back in town! Jiggle Balls: Spikes! is a new game by the makers of Jiggle Balls. You control SPIKEY the big purple ball. Your goal? Smash the JIGGLE BALLS before time expires. Your weapon of choice? GRAVITY! Rotate your device to control the direction of the balls. Pin them in a corner and squash 'em! But there are obstacles that are bent on making your job more difficult -- BLOCKERS, FADERS, and SLIDERS. Blockers look a lot like Spikey and get in your way. Faders come and go. They can work to your advantage, as a shortcut, but they may also drop the balls out of sight as you approach. Sliders move with the gravity too. You will have to be fast to navigate around them. 30 levels of unique puzzles and obstacles. Continue from the last level completed or retry any level. Start with EASY mode and once you've mastered that, challenge your friends to HARD mode and see how far they can get? Game Center support. High Score Boards and Achievements. Compete with your friends, neighbors, or the whole planet! See where you rank?! Watch the video at www.funkyvisions.com. REVIEWS "Jiggle Balls: Spikes is a fun expansion on the original digital toy concept into something more substantial, and there is some fun to be had with playing around with this game" -- The Portable Gamer "There seems to be a trick for each level which makes it easier to figure out - however when you get up there the levels get harder and harder." -- Customer "Great design, nice touches. The levels are fun, original, and challenging. Nice job!" -- Customer AWARDS Top 10 Puzzle and Arcade game in the USA, Canada, UK, Sweden, and more! Top 50 App in the ENTIRE USA App Store. Selected by AppCalendar as one of it's top 50 premiere apps! EASTER EGG Have you found the Chicken Nuggets yet? HINTS Watch the game play video at jiggleballs.com for help. It will show you how to get through the first 4 levels. Level 24 is probably the hardest level. With the device lying flat, quickly tilt forwards and backwards to get the "wallflowers" bouncing in their containers. Then run "Spikey" along the top of them. Takes a little practice, but doable.
