Orbital (iPhone)
Good news everyone! You can now play the excellent Orbital if you don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch by clicking this handy link. It’s only Gravity mode, no Pure, but should give you a good taste of the game.
I played it for a while, but then realised that if I got a new high score on the web version and not on my iPhone then I’d be very upset, so I switched to the iPhone version.
Did I get a new high score? Well, no, I didn’t. But that’s not the point.

Here’s a list of ten games to play during this month. They won’t be the ten best iPhone games – any list without Angry Birds, Doom and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is not a list of the greatest iPhone games – but they’ll be selected based on a mix of quality, novelty and relevance

Smashed my old Gravity high score into the ground with great force, but unfortunately just missed taking the top spot on Friends leaderboard. Highly annoying. Also played for a while in the waiting room at the dentist today, but we’re not talking about that.

Going for the record for the most time played without getting a new high score.

A break from the usual list of the ten iPhone games I judge to be the best, here’s a list of ten games to play during this month. All will be great games, but they’ll be selected based on a mix of quality, novelty and relevance to the month’s events. Angry Birds Angry Birds is

One of my friends beat my Gravity high score, so I had to try and reclaim by top spot on my friends leaderboard. Unfortunately I failed, so he’s still there, taunting me. I’ll get him one day, though. One day…

Right then, kids, that’s a new high score for Pure mode. I’m now top of my Friends leaderboard, so I guess I better move on to Supernova mode, where I’m only joint top. (It actually lists me as second, which seems unfair, as we’re both on 118 points. I’m just going to have to beat

I’m definitely getting better at Gravity mode and I’m sure my average score is climbing, but I couldn’t get another new high score yesterday. I think I might move on to Pure mode for a while. It’s unpopular and scores are low, so I’m hoping I can get some decent points there. Supernova mode is

Spent hours – hours! – last night trying to beat my high score in Gravity mode. Some of my Facebook friends have got this now, so I can see exactly how bad I am compared to people I know. I don’t mind being worse than strangers, but it’s different when it’s your own chums. Anyway,

A lot of play over the weekend in all modes – though Pure got neglected compared to the other two – and no new high scores. I got close to my Gravity high score a few times, but messed up when I noticed how near I was to a new best. Supernova was worse –

Orbital is, as I’ve mentioned before, something of a harsh mistress. Mistakes are punished with instant death. Sometimes I’m tempted to feel like I’ve been unlucky, but, of course, luck doesn’t have anything to do with it. The rules are there and the only reason to die is that the human thumb and the human
