Bucketball is a brand-new physics-based game from Powerise Interactive.
Simplicity is the name of the game here, and indeed, the interaction of balls and buckets is the theme. You get 20 levels to test your skills of aim and timing. Each level presents you with a certain number of differently-colored buckets, and the same number of differently-colored balls. Your job is to get the right balls into the right buckets by striking them with invisible vectors of force. The fewer strokes it takes to complete a level, the higher your score. Easy, casual, no fuss, no muss.
The finger controls everything. When you bring the pointer near a ball, a little arrow appears. Hold the finger button to build up power, and release to fire the ball in the direction of the arrow. This control method feels comfortable and undemanding, which matches the general vibe of the game. Theres no timer or official target score for any of the levels, so youre free to play with the physics and take as many shots as you want. You can even strike another ball while the previous one is still in motion. If youd rather go for the minimum number of shots and max out your score, you can restart a level at any time with no penalty.
