1. Ball Into is a casual puzzle physics game. 2. The operation is very simple. You only need to click on the screen, hold and drag to form an auxiliary parabola, and control the ball into the box. 3. The game provides a large number of well-designed levels. You need to play your imagination, skillfully use the layout features of the obstacles in the level, and find out the path of the ball into the box. 4. How to control the launch intensity when there is “WINDY”? How to predict the launch path when there is “MIRROR”? How to overcome inertia thinking when the direction of “GRAVITY” changes? How to grasp the launch timing? These questions will be gradually answered in the process of completing the levels from easy to difficult. 5. Simple and clean game style, soothing and pleasing game music, let your mind and body completely relax, and immersed in the fun puzzle world.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Orbit at 94% against Ball Into's 50%. Orbit also leads on ratings volume (7.6K vs 67) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Ball Into's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
