Synopsis
'100 Balls' is a simple but addicting app. Test your reaction in a single tap game with a realistic physics engine.

Tap on screen to open the pot. Your purpose is to fill the moving cups with falling balls. Filled cups will return balls to the pot. Empty cups will be unhooked from the moving chain. The game ends when all balls or cups are lost. Each level speeds up the cups. On higher levels cups will change color. Colored cups produces higher value colored balls. The longer you remain in the game, the more points you receive.


Gameplay
In this game you control a dropper full of small balls that you have to drop into a rotating loop of cups. When you first start a game, you are given a vessel full of yellow balls hovering in the middle of the screen. Around this is a rounded corner rectangle which has a number of white cups going around it in a clockwise movement. The cups start off moving slow, but get faster as the game progresses. The way to get points in this game is to get the balls in the cups, when the cups get back to the top of the screen they will tip the balls they contain back into the vessel to be reused. If a cup goes past the bottom of the vessel and doesnt get any balls dropped in it, the cup will drop off the chain forever and will be lost. As you go through the game, some of the cups will change color. It goes White (base color) -> Green -> Blue -> Pink -> Red, I have not seen any more. When balls are dropped in the colored cups, the balls change to that color. Depending on what color the balls are, when they are dropped into another cup you are given a different amount of points; White = 1 point, Green = 2 points etc. In this game, timing is essential. As you progress, the cups move faster but the dropper timing stays the same. This means you have to speed up and change your timings which adds a nice twist on the game.


Graphics
The graphics in this game are very simplistic but powerful. The color scheme is the most important part as the different colors are what makes the difference in the game. The main colors used are a black background which contrasts the base color for the balls (white), this along with primary and secondary colors (green, blue, pink, red) makes for a very nice effect. Everything else in the game graphically is quite simple, the dropper and the cups are made of thin white lines which add to the simplicity, and the cups have a slightly darker shade of the line color on the inside to make it stand out more. Overall the graphics in this game are simple, but very well made and put together.


Audio
The audio in this game is also very simple, although I think it could be added to in a few ways. Currently there is a funky and energetic background tune that is always playing, and there are a few sound effects in the game. One of these is a jingle when you drop some balls in to a cup. That is mainly it for sound, but there are some additions that could be made. One of these could be sounds for when you drop the balls, when you lose balls, when a cup or balls change color, and sounds for when you start/lose a game. The audio is quite limited for this game, but the current, small sound effects that it has are nice and suite the game.


Controls
There really is nothing to the controls of this game, you simply touch the screen to open the gate that lets the balls flow out. You can either tap it (tapping it very quickly wont let any balls out as it will close it straight away) or you can hold it to let a larger number of balls out at once. Knowing when to initiate the controls is the biggest and most important part of the controls in this game, not the controls themselves. Opening the gate too early or too late will miss the cup and lose the balls, but getting it just right will secure the maximum number of points without any loss in balls which will keep you going for longer.
