iBall3 - New evolutionary Brain game, 21st Century Rubik

[calvinfan]

Anyone play iBall3 before ?
The Iball is an interactive, dexterity light game that will have your cerebral cortex in overdrive before you can blink !
The concept of the game is to simply turn all 6 light buttons onto the same colour in less than 90 seconds.
There is a world leader board on www.iball3.com website and the challenge is to be the fastest in the world.
Voted number 1 toy for 2011 on the TV show Gadget show !
Voted in top 10 great toys for Christmas by Hamleys this year !
As seen in the Times and Guardian newspapers - A Brain Game for everyone !

Enjoy !

Sounds to me like its a Rubik's cube (ball), but electronic. Still probably a fun toy?

That looks stupid. I bet it is really easy.

Is that Justin Bieber playing with this little toy? And is this an ad?

Well if she was able to solve it THAT quickly I'm sure I can solve it.

review plz. i don't trust rubik's brand after they hyped the rubik's 360. i can't see most videos of it anyway cause they are regionblocked.

I'd be interested to see what moves are possible and how it functions (before buying it). Having online leaderboards seems like a reasonably good way of getting a small community to form, but the overall difficulty and optimizability will really affect how serious people get about it. So I wonder how you play it

ok i think i get it after watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnJE25t6DP0&NR=1

my guess is that it improves short term memory and it's kinda neat probably if u are into that.

forget the ball.

there are 6 buttons that cycle colors by pressing it. and they turn off when when u click a button which doesn't match the color of the previous buttons u pressed. and obviously the next time u press it the color is the next one. and the goal is to make all 6 the same color.

so it's like

button 1 click>red color appears
button 2 click>red color appears
button 3 click>blue color appears>all colors go off.
button 4
button 5
button 6

and then:

button 1 click>blue color appears
button 2 click>blue color appears
button 3 not clicking that cause it would be red
button 4 click>blue color appears
button 5 click>green color appears>all colors go off>don't blame me. trial and error.
button 6

hope u memorized the stuff and press the buttons so they are primed for the goal of all colors being the same.

maybe i am all wrong on this tho...lol. it's just how i THINK it works :rolleyes:
