Rob Pitt writes: A few weeks before SEGA announced that Super Monkey Ball was being remastered, I was sent a copy of The Perplexing Orb from Treefall Studios, the indie developer behind Pitterpot.
Funnily enough, this is also a remaster, only this game was originally on the Wii U, unlike Super Monkey ball which is based upon the Wii version.
So, why am I bouncing back and forth between Super Monkey Ball and The Perplexing Orb? Both games are very similar in concept – roll a ball through precariously placed floating mazes as you try to make it towards to final goal without falling off.
Sean @ FG: A simplistic rolling puzzle format is totally undone by an uncooperative camera in The Perplexing Orb, finally on PS4 in the EU. The Finger Guns Review.
NE: The Perplexing Orb is an odd game. It is an overwhelmingly simple experience on all fronts, there is no doubt, yet there are redeeming qualities that make the game potentially worth experiencing. Developer Treefall doesn’t have the best reputation with Nintendo fans, of course, and while this game certainly shares some of the problems their other games have, The Perplexing Orb is one actually worth taking a look at — even if it never does rise above its problems."
