Let's make a level where they can't see anything! :: evil laugh :: That just leads to frustration, rather than fair frustration, when the player knows they screwed up. That's proof of amateur design to purposely make levels harder without really trying to fully flesh out the core idea of the game. That would have at least made the game more challenging, rather than attempting to amp up the difficulty by not being able to see anything (that last screenshot for example). Floating trees/objects (wtf is the point of that?), hideous texture choices/patterns, the ball is way too floaty, with no use of squash and stretch (a term they probably don't even know) and not utilizing the gyroscope which was how I assumed this game would be played when I saw the trailer. Each of the four challenge stages was a bit more difficult than most of the main game's offerings, but not by much some of the main game's maps seemed more challenging to us than those offered in challenge mode. Unfortunately, the object of challenge mode is merely to beat these levels the inclusion of a timer or leaderboards would do wonders here, along with an increased map selection.

The challenge stages rely mostly on balancing the orb on a series of increasingly narrow platforms rather than requiring any truly tricky movement. After our first playthrough we had 300 of the 400 artifacts necessary to unlock all four challenge stages. Challenge mode consists of just four stages, with each requiring more artifacts to unlock. The Perplexing Orb's main mode - a sort-of story mode consisting of seven worlds, each containing a few puzzles apiece - is joined by a multiplayer mode and a challenge mode, both of which feel like missed opportunities. Musically the game fares much better - the background tunes aren't memorable, but they're tolerable. Lighting effects are there, and the orb casts a shadow, but it's not very impressive. Backgrounds also seem to be a single static, often pixelated, image. The orb resembles a red rubber ball one might find on a playground, and the courses are made up of simple geometric shapes with low-resolution textures wrapped around them.
