[HOW TO PLAY]
- Touch the screen almost anywhere and drag to aim.
- Release to shoot an element into the orb. (You can drag to the top of the screen to cancel a shot.)
- You can see which element is up next in the wizard's ring. (Tap on the ring to swap the current and next elements!)
- When elements of the same type and size touch they will merge and award points. They will combine up to 3 sizes larger and begin to glow.
- Tap and hold an element when it's glowing to pop it for points and to free up space.
- When an element explodes it will pop other nearby elements of the same color and any size.
- The final type of element that appears is the Spellbomb! When a glowing Spellbomb explodes it pops all nearby elements of all colors and sizes.
- A warning ring will appear once the elements in the orb stack high enough.
If elements stack above the middle of the warning ring, a timer will begin.
- You will have 10 seconds to get the elements back down below the warning ring. If you fail to get the elements back down before the red ring makes it all the way around the orb, game over!

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic over all. Great animation and sound design. The gameplay becomes gradually more complicated/interesting as you progress, which is something most mobile games lack. The ads are unintrusive and not designed to be misclicked, which I appreciate. One bug report: The rim at the top of the orb, which I believe is mean to be like the game over ceiling in Tetris, didn't function for me. After playing for some time in level two, it flashed red and started to slowly lower, but nothing happened

Started off cool. Played casual mode. Then once the ball with the red arrows showed up the game bugged the hell out and all the balls compressed together. It lagged to hell and bright flashes of light covered the entire screen. No clue what that was. It never stopped.

A good game, I enjoyed it. But for some reason I experienced some noticeable lag, and occasionally the orbs would ungulate around by themselves, and resettle. Maybe it's my device. But beyond that it was a good experience.
