How long you can keep the colors in harmony? Move your ring by either touch or tilt to catch the orbs of a matching color. Watch your ring grow with your score, but be careful! Grow too large and you'll run out of room to avoid colliding with the orbs of differing colors. As the levels progress the orbs fall faster, sometimes even coming up from below. What starts as a casual color matching game quickly becomes a fast paced test of your reactions. Can you navigate the cascade of color while still posting the highest score possible? ----- Born as a browser game in 2010 and reimagined for mobile with the help of AI, absOrbs is an evolution of a game I designed called "absOrb" that ran in most browsers without a plugin. AbsOrb was imagined as an anti-shooter. I loved the twitch arcade games of the 1980s, their frenetic action and the colorful sprites everywhere. AbsOrbs is a rethink of its predecessor with optimized controls for the iPhone.
