What do you get when you add Balls, Pots, Chains, Rope, Catapults and Physics? You guessed it you get Obulis a Puzzle based games using gravity, chain reactions and cannon fire to move the coloured balls across each board in to the corresponding coloured pot.
Starting off with some simple and easy boards - drop here, role there - and steadily progressing to to significantly harder boards as you move into the later ends of the boards. Boards requiring multiple roles, cascades and timed swings to get your balls from their start point to their final destination. Obulis also lacks any story or reasoning for all this rolling, swinging and transfer of motion but if your looking for puzzles without reason you in luck.

Some of these ports end up being better than others, but the gaming smorgasbord (yeah, I can get my Swedish on) that the PC offers cannot be matched. Enter Obulis, a physics-based puzzle game that first appeared on mobile devices and has finally made its way onto the platform of choice for discerning gamers around the globe. Obulis can be thought of Rube Goldberg-light, where you must maneuver balls into pots (a nightly event for me) by setting up a chain reaction of events, usually involving balls hitting other balls (again, a nightly event for me). Let's attempt to wade through the remainder of the "balls" jokes and evaluate how Obulis stacks up in the ever-crowded puzzle genre."
Game Vortex writes: "Obulis, a new addictive puzzle game from IonFX and Meridian 4, takes a simple idea and makes it a lot of fun. The objective is to get the colored orbs into their matching colored pots. In a game with such a singular design, it becomes very important to mix good graphics and sound to keep the player interested. Obulis does both extremely well. The settings are carefully designed to be both aesthetically appealing and dynamically challenging."
