Features
Hue Ball iPhone game app has a flat and minimalistic visual style that fits well with the modern aesthetics of iOS. The color theme ranges from soft to bright and vivid, with plenty of contrast against the white background. The animations are slick and smooth, while the soundtrack is delightful to listen to. Hue Ball for iPhone has one game mode wherein your objective is to last as long as you can while pocketing as many points as possible. The game starts off as easy with few balls on the screen. But it quickly could get out of control if you let them start building up. You should get rid of the balls by hitting them with the balls you launch from the shooter at the bottom. However, even if these balls get rid of others, they’ll remain on the screen afterwards. Further, there is a shrinking circle overlay in the middle of the phone screen that indicates the color of the ball that you’ll shoot out and a countdown timer. Once the time runs out for that color, it will change to a different one and all of the current balls on the screen get another color ring added to their outer surface. When a ball has colored rings on them, you might require more hits on them to reach the core.
The controls of Hue Ball iPhone app are fairly easy to use. At the bottom of the screen is the bubble shooter that continually moves left and right. A line will give you a small indicator of where the ball will travel to. You just got to tap on the screen to launch the ball. It should be noted that the ball you shoot will have few seconds before it solidifies and can’t move anymore. So, if you act quickly enough, you can use another ball to ricochet off these and push them where you want them to go on the screen. Be careful not to leave a ball around for too long on the screen. Else, it will grow too big and becomes a skull, which can’t be removed. Hence it is important to get to every ball as soon as possible to avoid such a possibility. The heart in the circle indicates the lives you have. If a ball reaches the bottom line, above your shooter, you lose a heart. Hue Ball game ends when you run out of your lives.
Conclusion
Hue Ball has great replay value. The game starts out slowly, but gains pace gradually. Your screen will be crowded in no time if you’re not too careful about your shots. The thumb rule is not to ever leave a ball around for long on the screen. The controls are intuitive and easy to learn. The app also comes with game center integration for leaderboards. We found the app to be stable and responsive as well. Check it out if you are a fan of tap-to-shoot type of games in general.
