Description
iBall3D is a remake of the classic Labyrinth game, but in 3D. You'll have to guide a ball from a location to another, by orienting your iPhone or iPod touch, avoiding the holes. Once a level is completed, you'll be able to send your score to the iBall3D server, and consult your world ranking position.

The game is as said by most reviewers more of a derivative of Labyrinth. It is a good attempt to build on the genre, but the graphics and the physics need some tuning. The way the ball moves and drops in the holes are flawless in Labyrinth. In iBall, the ball just suddenly disappears or shoots down the hole as soon as about half of the ball is over the hole. Movement of the ball is not as fast as is supposed to, but at the same it is not way too slow as others mentioned. Overall it's a decent game worth trying out.
Impressive
Gorgeous interface (one of the best I've seen). I have the full version of Labrynth (which I consider to be perfect). Comparing the two directly, this game 'seems' lesser, but it's actually far far greater. The graphics appear to be blocky and unpolished, but the difference is that Labrynth uses images to lay out game play; iBall 3D is, as the name implies, a complete dynamic 3D rendering. When you remind yourself of this fact, it doesn't bother you so much.
Some things which I think should/need to be addressed are:
The ball (physics are too "heavy" - this makes it easy, but it seems a bit too unrealistic from the user's perspective) and (the rainbow pattern is impressive to show off the 3D, but it's mesmerizing/distracting and actually makes me kind of dizzy lol, a checkered ball option would be nice and could still show off the 3D to some extent).
The zoomed in camera. It looks great, but... the fixed angle and zoom make it hard to use it when the ball needs to be rollin towards you (can't see where you're going). Maybe a ball "holder"/pause to allow a 90 degree camera angle change with tilt meters so the device is level before resuming.
Just some ideas.
Holding on to this one!
not that good
labyrinth is much better!!!!! the ball moves wayyyyyy too slow and is hard to control.
