Garden Marbles rolls into the App Store
Dip your little glass balls in the pond
The sensitivity and accuracy of the iPhone's accelerometer determined there'd be a host of games involving rolling things around with as much precision as fun allows. Garden Marbles adds to this burgeoning, iPhone-centric genre.
Just released onto the App Store, Garden Marbles involves rolling a number of black marbles around a garden and tipping as many into the pond as possible inside of 60 seconds. As the game progresses, obstacles such as rocks and trees are thrown into the mix, while the white marble must be kept high and dry at all times.
Garden Marbles highlights the fact that there's never really been a good schoolyard marbles simulator, complete with glass eyes, creamies, ballies, a marble bag and a pog you dug with the heel of your shoe. That's how we used to entertain ourselves when I were a lad! (Thank god someone finally invented the Nintendo Wii, eh?).
