One great thing about puzzle games is that you can just pick it up and go. For the most part, puzzle games don’t have an element of progress(except for a select few like Puzzle Quest), and so you can pick it up, play a for a few minutes, and if you need to quit, no harm done. And they are rediculously addicting; at least the good ones are. Orbital is one such game.

A free lite version of Orbital, ”the definitive 1-thumb experience”, was released today. The lite version only allows for a maximum of 15 points in single player, but has unlimited multiplayer play on one phone. Their explanation for this decision to give unlimited multiplayer being: “We’ve chosen to offer the free version of Orbital because of lessons learned from cigarette companies and crack-slingin’ corner boys. If you give the customer a taste, they will come back for more.”

See? There’s a lesson to be learned everywhere in life.
