For all the great new games that are released on iOS, sometimes you want to play something familiar. Maybe something a little retro that reminds you of those arcade days spent plugging quarters into standalone machines for hours on end. Arcade games can be a lot of fun, and for those of you that grew up in an era where arcade games were all the rage they can also bring about a little bit of nostalgia. The arcade genre has lent itself well to the mobile platform and there always seem to constantly be new arcade games releasing to the Play Store and the iOS App Store, but if you don’t care for searching through the huge lists of games to track down those worthy of your time, here is our new favorite!
The simple fun of arcade games
Plunge Ball is a free Arcade style mobile game for iPhones and iPads. This game has simple and repetitive game-play mechanics, but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s not fun, challenging and addictive. Plunge Ball, in spite of its simple graphics and game mechanics, offers an amazing arcade gaming experience. With its eye candy colorful design and familiar tapping game controls, Plunge Ball can quickly become your new Arcade favorite as it became ours.
Avoid obstacles, collect the diamonds, unlock fun ball designs
The objective of the Plunge Ball game is to safely lead the falling ball to land. Simple enough, but, a lot of dangers await you and the ball on the way to a safe landing. Shooting asteroids, rockets, meteors and other dangerous space stuff will challenge your reflexes while leading the ball to the ground. You steer the ball away from those obstacles by simply tapping on the screen of your device, right or left. This way you can avoid the different dangerous obstacles and collect the little red diamonds scattered around the screen. These little diamonds will give you the highest scores, so trying to collect them all is an important thing. Also, collecting as much of them as possible gives you the opportunity to unlock all of the fun ball designs you can switch to, if you are bored with the simple yellow ball design you start out with.
If you are up to some simple yet challenging arcade fun, try Plunge Ball, it’s free and available for download at the iTunes App Store.
