Our take on OboStar
The defining detail is a no-grid play area: players pilot a ship among floating colored orbs and must touch matching colors in succession to form chains.
What is OboStar?
OboStar is a skill puzzle game in which players pilot a ship and touch colored orbs.
The orbs float freely rather than appearing on a grid, in a world with blocks, bombs, and teleport portals. Touching orbs of the same color in succession creates chain combos, with larger chains yielding larger rewards. Arcade mode follows a story through missions. Challenge mode offers games at different difficulty levels and determines a skill rank based on play. The gameplay centers on choosing targets and reaching them accurately while navigating the floating orbs and obstacles.
