Welcome to the frenzied, challenging, and addictive world of Ecliptic. Brought to you by Room 12 Studios, creators of iPredict, the greatest fortune teller on the App Store. Ecliptic is a challenging race to clear all the circles from the screen and prove to your friends that you've got the fastest fingers around. In Time Trial, try to clear the screen of circles by tapping on those that match the color at the edges of the screen. Choose how many circles you want to clear and get rid of them as fast as possible. But be careful; if you miss, you'll add another circle to clear. Be fast, but accurate. Endurance mode is a race to clear circles as they appear to keep the clock from running out. Clearing circles adds time to the clock. But if you make a mistake, not only will you have more circles with which to contend, but precious seconds will vanish from the time clock. If frantic gameplay is not what you're after, then spend time with Zen: a relaxing, meditative experience perfect for those that wish for a quieter, melodic style of play. It's also perfect for young children as a calming distraction with its soothing soundtrack and bright colors. And speaking of colors, if you don't like the ones that come in the stock app (or if you just want to show us how much you love the game), unlock 14 more with a single in-app purchase. Check out the app in action at Room12Studios.com, or just download today and challenge your friends!

Verdict

The call
