A handheld game devoid of circuitry, sound effects and flashing lights? Despite
its low tech spec, Addictaball is the most unputdownable puzzley thing we’ve ever seen.
The concept is simple verging on downright childish, as players must twist, turn and tilt this funky transparent orb in order to guide a little metal ball through the crazy three-dimensional maze of platforms, holes and spirals suspended within.
It sounds simple but you’ll be hopelessly hooked after just one go. In
fact Addictaball makes playing with conventional brainteasers seem about
as entertaining as trying to find one of Susan Boyle’s eyebrows in a
binful of Pete Doherty’s chewed toenail clippings. Oh yes, and if big
balls aren’t your thing, fear not – there’s also a smaller travel version featuring an equally annoying but subtly different maze.
If all this sounds like a load of oblique spheroids, it is. But try
thinking of a decent game that doesn’t involve at least one ball.
Besides, it takes serious hand-eye co-ordination to steer your ball
through Addictaball’s handily numbered sections (138 sections for the large, 100
for the small). We guarantee you’ll be cursing this unputdownable
sphere’s devious nature and pulling faces worthy of a champion gurner in
under a minute.
