Orbie is an exhilarating game that combines strategy with speed, challenging players to climb to the top of the leaderboard. The goal is simple yet engaging: clear the screen of orbs by aligning three or more of the same color in a row or column. As the game progresses, new orbs appear at the bottom every few seconds, and if they reach the top, it's game over. This dynamic keeps the gameplay fast-paced and thrilling.
To stay in the game, mastering the use of Super Orbs is crucial. These powerful tools are earned by creating combinations—clearing multiple lines with a single move—or by aligning five orbs of the same color. Starting with three Super Orbs, players can strategically remove an entire column of their choice, significantly extending their playtime and boosting their score.
Another game-changer is the Lightning Orb, which can be purchased with coins at the start of the game. By placing it on any color, you can instantly clear all orbs of that color from the screen, creating a dramatic shift in the game's dynamics. Coins, earned for every orb cleared, are the currency for these powerful tools, allowing players to strategize their purchases before each game.

With each update, Orbie continues to evolve. The latest version 2.06, updated on June 13, 2016, introduces a "Rate Me" feature that rewards players with 30,000 coins for their feedback. Previous updates have enhanced the game's graphics, added high scores to the game over screen, fixed historical high score issues, and introduced global high scores. Version 2.00 brought a tutorial, updated graphics, and new music, while earlier updates like 1.10 and 1.9 improved user interaction with fixes to the rating button, addition of a share button, and a pause feature.
So, dive into Orbie, master its mechanics, and see if you can claim your spot at the top of the leaderboard. Happy Orbing, and don't forget to rate the game to earn those extra coins!
