Pros
Pro Unique spin on match three gameplay
With the limited space of the game board the way that objects have to be matched a good bit of planning needs to be done ahead of time as well as some quick thinking.
Pro Simple intuitive gameplay
The gameplay consists of firing orbs into the playing field to then fire more orbs to remove those orbs. Pretty simple to understand but not always easy to accomplish, making for an arcade puzzle style game that can be played easily but still requires some strategy and thought.
Pro Free version available
There is a free version available for download that has no in app purchases but is limited to 20 points to which the game is cut off. Makes a good trial version to see how the game plays.
Pro Three single and muti-player modes
There are three play modes available in game, Pure, Gravity and Supernova. The first two modes change up how the orbs move once fired upon, one allows the orbs to shoot off in straight lines, the other has the orbs shooting and bouncing off of one another. Supernova offers a twist on these by making the player shoot 5 shots instead of three.
Pro Local same device 2 player mode
Two users can play a match against one another on the same device, making for a good game to play when friends are around.
Cons
Con Pay to play
After playing just long enough to get interested in the game it starts asking for money for moves.
Con Controls could be more accurate
Shooting orbs can be less precise than wanted, this is something that could be improved on.
Con May not hold interest for long
Being that the game is pretty simple, users may get tired of the gameplay quickly.
