Description
iOS version of the popular Macintosh brick breaking game. Destroy the bricks by bouncing up one or more balls. Contrary to other similar games, these balls actually behave like real balls, bouncing off corners correctly and even colliding with each other. Colibricks also features rotated bricks, so instead of boring horizontal grids you'll get circles, spirals, and so on.
Many kinds of special bricks will grow or shrink the paddle, give you extra lives, points or equipment like the magnet or laser, and even change the size of the balls so you'll sometimes end up with a screen full of balls of different sizes (and corresponding weights). Some bricks will actually try to shoot your paddle, so stay away from those arrows!
Colibricks features 50 different levels, many of them requiring different strategies so that your score depends on skill and cleverness rather than luck. Gameplay is extremely smooth. The paddle can be controlled by touch or tilt.

Ratings and Reviews
So very close...
It's fantastic to see Colibricks - a game I've loved on OS X for ages - make it to the iPhone, especially when I thought development on it was dead! It's a measure of how much I loved the OS X version that every other brick-breaker I've downloaded on iOS I hoped - usually to my disappointment - would behave like Colibricks.
As is often the issue with an iOS version of a desktop game, there is a risk that the control system doesn't translate too well - but not in this case, the control system, even on the iPhone screen, is simple and easy to use.
Unfortunately, this game commits the cardinal sin for any 'pick up and play' game on the iPhone - it doesn't let you play your own music! It could be worse, the sound effects are very good and in great stereo, but for a game that's destined to be played on the train home, you find yourself not wanting to pick it up so you don't lose your music. For this reason, I'm only awarding this app three stars - fix this simple problem (and maybe give us a level creator...!) and this is a 5-star app, definitely!
