I didn't think I was cut out to gorb, and yet here I am, a gorb enthusiast. Genuinely really enjoyed this game! [b]FULL VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXfs6KlGUV8[/b]

GORB, developed and published by Jon Gallant under the jgallant label, is a minimalist physics-based puzzle game that demonstrates how a simple core concept can be expanded into a surprisingly engaging and challenging experience. Released on Steam as a compact and budget-friendly title, GORB builds its identity around a single, clear objective: remove all red and orange shapes from each level while ensuring that the green shapes remain safely on the screen. From this straightforward rule set, the game constructs a steadily evolving series of puzzles that reward careful observation, planning, and an understanding of gravity-driven interactions. At first glance, GORB’s presentation is intentionally understated. The visuals consist of colorful geometric shapes arranged against plain backgrounds, with no elaborate animations or decorative flourishes. This stripped-down aesthetic keeps the focus entirely on the puzzle mechanics. The absence of visual clutter allows players to concentrate on structural relationships between shapes, making it easier to predict how removing one object will affect the rest. The clean design also enhances readability, which is critical in a game where even …

I got this for free but this makes me angry. I hate the smileys on the shapes. The game over messages are also cringey and wont let me quickly restart the level. Edit: Finally beaten the world 8. Im finally free from this suffering!

This is a neat physics-based puzzle game that has some interesting ideas. Each level is unique and requires a different approach to solve it. That being said, there were multiple puzzles that could not be solved purely by logic and needed either fast reaction time or trial-and-error, which could sometimes get annoying depending on how forgiving the puzzle was. Regarding value for your money, the game has a surprisingly high amount of content available for the extremely cheap price. There are 7 worlds, each with 24 levels, and each one has stars to collect based on your performance. It took me about 6 hours total to 100% the game, which involved getting all stars on all levels. and completing the bonus stage with all upgrades purchased. My main complaint with the experience overall is the music. It sounds like royalty-free music you would hear in a Roblox tycoon, and not the good kind. It loops constantly during the whole game and it got annoying quickly. I ended up muting the music entirely so I could listen to my own because I was getting really tired of it. Overall, if you're looking for a good puzzle game that doesn't break the bank, I recommend trying this one out.

They've done something to the physics to make it where something different happens every time you reload, even if you do the exact same move :/ Makes it almost impossible to 100% even with cheating and looking up solutions. Game should be free tbh.
