Globs review

Change your glob of paint’s color, assimilate other blobs and take over the board! Globs is a puzzle app featuring color matching and a untimed, limited moves system. Released by Elevate Entertainment and Crawl Space, Globs is available as a universal app on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad and sells for $0.99 in the App Store. This review is performed on the iPhone 3GS.

Color matching games and I have never had a great relationship. My colorblindness has always gotten in the way of my full enjoyment since games like these always remind me of how unable I really am. Green and Orange, Red and Orange, Purple and Blue… It’s just a challenging mess of colors. Globs does fall into this category for me since there are no color-blind options and the colors run really close together in my eyes. This however, is minor and I won’t let it distract me from how good this game really is.

Originating from the internet, Globs the app is clearly refined, fun, and well done. You start with a single starting point. Where you have to then change the starting blob’s color to match the colors next to it. Doing this fuses the two circles together and your blob grows in size. Repeat this with as few moves as possible to fuse together the entire field or play it in timed mode where you have a limited time to make each move.

Short and simple, Globs is an excellent iOS game. Challenging in Timed or Classic mode, OpenFeint and Game Center compatibility, Facebook leaderboards, and one of the most unique puzzle designs available, Globs is definitely well worth the try and is a great experience.

I might be able to enjoy the game for more than a few minutes without suffering over-stressed eyes and a headache, but even I have to admit that this is a great game app.

Note: You can also find and play a Flash version of the same game of Globs online.
