It is so weird it's wonderful, part match 3 and part billiards.

You make points by bouncing balls off the wall and then clustering with other balls of their same color. The weird twist that seems counter-intuitive at first is that you're rewarded for taking as many legal moves as possible. Like if you could cluster all of the stage's balls in one well placed shot you'd get a crapracular score compared to the guy who did it in 5 shots.

Yeah the take more shots to get the best grade confused me to start with I'm interested to see what the arcade games are like once the IAP shop becomes available . Also I looked on there site and the PC game they have in development which this is based on looks pretty smart too .

Surprised this ain't getting more attention it has over 30 reviews in the UK AppStore and is running at a solid 5 stars . The guys behind it the Pickford Bros are gaming legends from way back as far as the ZX Spectrum days .

Crap Weasels! I just found out these were the geniuses behind Wetrix/Aqua Aqua! One of my favorite puzzle games of all time!

Thanks for the kind words guys.

This is our first iOS release, so we were a bit nervous, but we've been really pleased by the initial response we've had. We've had lovely feedback via twitter, forums, and App Store reviews.

Unfortunately the In App Purchases that complement the game are still in the queue for review at Apple. We naturally expected that the IAPs would be approved at the same time as the game, so it was a bit of a shock when we woke up Saturday morning and noticed the IAPs weren't available, after we'd had a little drink to celebrate the App's approval late on the Friday night before.

We've got our fingers crossed that the extra game modes and extra tables that become available via IAP will come online very soon, as some people are already maxing out their scores on the first batch of levels, even though that represents several hours play.

@Ste Pickford that's Apple for you alot of things they do don't make sense but hopefully it will appear soon looking forward to playing the arcade games . So far I'm loving it and can safely say it's one of my favourite IOS games at the minute . Also slightly off topic how far is the PC version from completion looking forward to that also .
