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: Color Valley Lite at Free against Orba's $2.99. Color Valley Lite also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Orba's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
