Colorbs – Puzzle Game Review
Colorbs is a Puzzle/Casual game from Konrad Kolakowski, first launched in 4th September 2014.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 51+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Colorbs Stand Out
Colorbs is a puzzle game that will play with your brain and strategic thinking, carefully designed by one person in minimalistic style and vibe.
Featured by Apple in "Best New Games" worldwide!
It is a nice blend between "falling blocks" and "match-3" games. Move rows and match orbs in groups of three or more. Then wait for new blocks coming from the top of the screen. Do not allow your orbs stack too high!
Colorbs is completely free to play.
Features:
- Endless gameplay
- 9 colors, 10 orb types, 11 figures
- Achievements
- Leaderboards
- Challenge your friends on Game Center
- Universal app (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch)

Community Insight:
Love the game. Love it! Need paid ad free option. Happy to pay! Want to zone out to music and not be interrupted by ads. Game is super addictive and very calming. Awesome game.
Simple and Good for short bursts of passing time to keep mind engaged on playing. Just gets annoying when there seems to be no logic on how obs drop 1 at a time or 6 on top of each other and you lose in a few minutes, then ad after ad for only one play continue, then start over w partial ad playing before you can continue.
Great game but the ads have ruined the fun…short burst of play then an Ad interrupts the flow after every play. Very irritating.
We just upgraded colorbs, and we are really disappointed in the changes. We have been playing this game for at least a year constantly. It seems to us there isnt as much height in the game as there sedbto be, or maybe the orbs are just bgger. Either way it is nearly impossible to get very far into the game which of course Im accustomed to doing. Boring! We completely agree! Word for word. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
Game previously had issues, however, the developer has resolved these issues and the game seems to be working flawlessly again. Easily one of our favorite ways to waste time.
Great quick game to keep your mind occupied.
Hasn't been the same game since 9.2 upgrade. Can you fix.
Our version after upgrade has now turned from orbs to totally graphically challenged rectangles!!! What the heck.
Way way too many ads. It's a great game, but doesn't offer a way to remove the ads. Would like a bit longer gameplay. Seemed to be ok until an update ruined it. This game could be so great! It's got a nice simple, relaxing play (no timer, yay!!!). Such a nice polished game, but then they ruin it with ads. We'd love to pay to remove them.
Love the game…great to pass the time on airplanes…very addictive. Would be nice if the ads came less…the chances of us buying another game from you are NOT increased with the frequency of your ads. Actually the opposite is probably true.
Great fun but it's hard to get the rows to move accurately. Sensitivity of touch needs to be adjusted. Thanks.
Do not update!!! We updated and now we get frequent ads. If we're not mistaken, this was an app that we paid for. We will never purchase anything from this company again. Terrible ethics.
This game was previously our favorite phone game. Minimalist, beautiful, and quite fun/calming. Now, it's ruined with ads and the authors "recalibration" makes the game almost impossible to play.
This was our favorite game on our phone. They intentionally made it significantly harder to show ads which now appear after every loss. Our high score was nearly 900,000, now we can't get past 40,000; so we now lose much more often therefore increasing their ad views. It's a real shame.
What was once our new favorite game, is now getting deleted due to the idiotic update where ads pop up not only after every game, but one popped up in the MIDDLE of one and wiped it out and started a new one fresh!!! FAIL.
Simple, fun, colorful, entertaining, addictive. Apply strategy, or keep it light, your choice.
Clean interface and nice UI make for pleasant play. Starts simple then gets trickier as more colours fall. Addictive and hard to beat.
The scoring system does not make any sense and is not consistent at all.
Beautiful design and great concept in game play, but spawning new balls prevents moving any rows until the spawn has completed. This is extremely frustrating and ruins what could be a nice game.
We have not yet played this game, but do find it strange that when trying to view the developers End Users Privacy Statement Page it has many Adverts that loop instead of allowing the end user to see what information is collected about them.
Even after the update that said the crash was fixed, the game still doesn't work. It will load but once we try to play, it freezes. It's really frustrating that we paid for the game and haven't been able to play since iOS 8.
We like the game. But ever since the last update, every time we push the play button to start a game, it just closes the app. We can't play at all. This is on our iphone. The ipad still works – for now.
Tons of glitches. Crashes all the time. Can't update our phone to ios8 & it doesn't work. Our iPad is updated but the game freezes every time we play. If you make people pay for a game make sure you know what you are doing.
Good game. Doesnt work with ios8.
The atmosphere of the game is quite good. The colors all look very gentle and calming. The physics of orbs dropping are done quite well, and the sound design is just barely on the right side of the "minimalist vs half assed" line. The issue that would make us not recommend the game is the process of having new orbs spawn from the top of the screen at set time intervals. As these orbs fall into the old ones underneath, this godawful delay happens where the game refuses your input until the physics display for the orbs clacking together finishes. Honestly, it could be good. But said delay just makes it feel terrible.
All we see are the red Xs. Also uninstalled and reinstalled but no luck.
All we can see are giant "X's" that cover almost the entire screen. It's completely unplayable.
Downloaded Colorbs today from iTunes onto our iPhone 5 and when we push play the game screen comes up with rectangles with X's on them. Tried deleting app & reinstalling but it did not fix. Don't know what to do now.
We're mildly colorblind and the orbs are so close in color that this game is unplayable. We can't tell what we're trying to match. It's too bad because the game looks like fun…would love it if they added an alternate, high contrast color scheme.
