Dropping Birds vs Orbiko

Drop a bird. Watch it tumble. Match two of the same and POP — they merge into the next bird up. Easy to learn, impossible to put down. Dropping Birds is a cozy, physics-packed merge puzzler starring eight adorable (and wonderfully expressive) birds…

Grow a universe from a single speck of dust. Orbiko is a one-handed puzzle game. Drop celestial bodies into the field, and when two of the same kind touch they merge into the next one up. That is the whole rule, and it is very hard to put down. ELEVEN STAGES OF EVOLUTION Dust, pebble, asteroid, comet, moon, rocky planet, gas giant, ringed planet, star, red giant, black hole. What happens when two black holes meet? Find out for yourself. THREE ITEMS FOR WHEN YOU ARE STUCK Swap trades the body you are holding for the next one. Smash clears a single body that is in your way. Shake unsettles the whole field so everything can fall into place again. A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY The Daily Challenge deals every player the same sequence of bodies, so the only thing that separates you is how you play it. Your streak counts the days you come back. BUILT AROUND THE FEEL Every merge answers with haptics, sound and a screen shake sized to what you just made. Chain them quickly for a combo multiplier. A landing guide shows exactly where your drop will settle, so a mistake is yours and never the game's. CONTROLS THAT FIT YOUR HAND Choose relative drag, where your finger never covers the body you are aiming, or touch position, where it jumps straight to where you press. Sensitivity is adjustable either way. SOMETHING TO BEAT Your ten best runs stay on your device, and Game Center leaderboards put you up against players everywhere. Free to play. No account, no sign-up, and it works offline. Keep the big bodies low and the small ones on top, and never let anything pile over the dotted line. Good luck.
