What’s It About?

Touch Physics is nothing more than series after series of puzzles that contain one misleadingly simple goal -- get a ball to go from its spot on the screen to a nearby star. All players need to do is draw a shape in mid-air, and then let the shape drop onto the ball in such a way that it moves around the screen and hits the star. Based on the position of the ball and the star, this could be a square, another ball, a triangle, or some other oddly shaped object. After players finally figure out how to complete a level, their only reward is another -- and likely more difficult level.

Is It Any Good?

TOUCH PHYSICS is a great mobile game that epitomizes the old saying of "practice makes perfect." That's a terrific formula for a casual video game, and this one delivers it in droves. That is to say, even though some of the levels may seem mind-numbingly difficult and impossible to complete with the limited gameplay mechanics available, players are motivated by the knowledge that it is of course possible as long as they figure out the right move. The actual controls are simple as can be, but the cerebral part proves to be a taxing experience for even the most seasoned players. This game is a good choice for players who want a quick, accessible title to kill some time.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
