Say hello to Orba—the deliciously addictive color smasher from Kieffer Bros. Tap chains of same-colored orbs to clear the screen. Line up longer chains to earn more points. Each time you clear the screen, more orbs fall into play. As you progress, more colors are added making it increasingly difficult to build longer chains. When your screen is completely filled and there are no moves left, it's game over. Addiction incarnate—Orba's a lovely way to stretch your mind or waste your time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Blocks Multiplayer at Free against Orba's $2.99. Orba's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 14 months). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
