Orb Breaker

Get BALL X PIT instead.

Not worth the price point. Game completed within about an hour. Disappointingly short.

The difficulty increases seem more like annoyance increases. The upgrades you buy don't make the gameplay more fun, they just marginally increase your capabilities to make it even possible to progress. That progress is also slow, because you have to spend multiple rounds of resource farming to buy an upgrade to farm slightly faster to buy upgrades to do enough damage to summon the boss, but you can't just summon the boss because you need to spend rounds of farming to buy the upgrades to increase the damage to the boss (or lengthen the timer) before you can beat it, regardless of how skillfully you play. Short incremental games thrive on either new challenges (not increased tedium) when you advance or growth that curves toward infinity instead of asymptotically. The game feels worse the longer you play it, and there's no point where you push through and feel "stronger." Even when you max out every upgrade it's still a slog, then it just ends unceremoniously.

While fun enough, its extremely short, it took me like an hour to complete all the levels.

I truly don't get the negative reviews for this game. This game is amazing and was lots of fun, well balanced too. Whoever complained about it being hard clearly has skill issues but don't let negative reviews keep you from buying this game. It's a bit short but I like short games way more than long ones.

Honestly, I'm uncertain where I land on this one. I will say, that overall my experience was positive, so I'm leaving a positive review. But, there were a bunch of small criticisms that, for me, piled up. First, I did want to say, the game took me under an hour to beat, and I didn't feel the need to play any of the endless modes after that point. The game played like Yar's Revenge's younger hipster brother. The audio was great, the gameplay was engaging. MOST of the technical aspects of the game fell short for me. I don't know why but I found the controls a little unintuitive. The upgrade tree wasn't exciting - +5% bounce chance is, I'm sure, impactful, but not something I can be enthusiastic about. Levels are timed, but there's no reward for surviving a level, so the only thing that matters is maximizing value. That value then turns into semi-mandatory upgrades which then get you to the next level. The enemies occur just a bit more frequently than your ability to dispatch them, which should be correct, except that this turns the blocks you're allegedly mining into a distraction. What you end up doing is mining the enemies, or ignoring them long enough to collect the points to …
