IQ Ball: The Review

How smart can video games be? Well one game in particular is actually designed to test the opposite, just how smart is the gamer themselves? Coming across this game known as 'IQ Ball' on the infamous StumpleUpon Button I played through vigorously testing my mettle against small puzzles designed to get my brain into that problem solving process.

Now this game may have been designed to be a brain teaser, but it is in no way a legitimate way to test someone's IQ (though problem solving, perhaps). The game pits the user a single circular purple hero with the ability to latch onto most substances against a test of attempts, trying to reach the target in the least amount of moves. Along the levels there are some interesting concepts and challenges including a Giant Spider (as seen above). My overall review of the game is a nice 7 on the 10 scale, having enough challenge to entertain me for awhile, and a bonus point for telling me I am in fact the Genius I assumed I was at 136 IQ.

Keep your eyes open Stumblers, this ones a winner.
