While scrolling the massive amount of game submissions today, I came upon this little gem, color ball 3. Its one of those games a developer can make overnight that can be a lot of fun. It kept me entertained through my fifteen minute break I take between working on my sites. The point of the game is simple, there are different colored balls and you have to catch the balls that are the same color as you. Letting same colored balls go or touching balls of a different color loses you life. Its a game of quick reflexes and gets really fast after 4 or 5 level-ups.

The game is nicely put together an runs smooth but I do have a few complaints on the game. The first is that the game does get repetitive after a while as the game-play is constant and the same throughout. However, this is offset by the increases in speed and the fact that each game only lasts a few minutes. The music, while fitting at first, does get annoying after a while and I found myself playing on mute after the first five minutes. The final complaint is that the high scores are locked to the sponsor site and you have to usually go off the page you are on to see them. With the Mochi-ads API these days, there is very little reason why the scores shouldn’t be integrated in-game.

But besides these complaints, color ball 3 is still a fun game worth a few minutes of play time.
