Lets try to twist your fingers around something colorful!
Arabesque is a multi-touch game where you match colored orbs together by touching them simultaneously. Pop up to five orbs at the same time and earn points while the timer ticks down. The unique multi-touch gameplay and the mesmerizing ambient electronic soundtrack will keep you coming back to pop some more orbs.
This is a match game unlike any other.. something really unique exclusive for iOS.
There are two game modes to choose from. In Time Attack, you face a fixed timer of two minutes that ticks down while you pop the 6 different orbs. Try to pop as many orbs as you can but beware of touching different colord ones, because this will give you a time penalty shortening your timer even further. This game mode is perfect for a quick play with its maximum play time of two minutes.
Be fast and precise to score big points and rise up the leaderboards.
Endless Mode, gives the multi-touch fun a steeper difficulty curve. This time your timer is only 30 seconds long, but you can prolong the game by poping orbs, because this time you not only score points but also get time bonuses. The more equal orbs you pop at the same time the bigger the score and the time bonus will be. But this is not everything. The endless Mode introduces color gradients. The colors of the orbs shift over time, so that you have to differ between 24 different orbs, 6 colors at a time. Beware of the gradient shift and try to clean up older colors to make space for the newer ones.
This game mode is the challenge for advanced players. Be careful during poping, dont mix up colors.

Latest reviews of Arabesque app for iPhone and iPad
Sounds great, plays great, and looks great. Only complaint would be the repetitive popping sound when you make a match. Some variety there or at least something that matched the tone of the background music (which is excellent) would be cool.
Dumb and boring. It wasnt fun to play at all
But it is ruined by very poor gameplay on iPhone/itouch. If you have an iPad, get this game. Seriously. I bet it plays amazing. Otherwise prepare to be frustrated while trying to precisely cram five fingers onto an array of dots that have a smaller circumference than most peoples thumbs.
This game is fine on the iPhone. Sure the iPad has more room, but with the iPhone version it kinda creates a whole new challenge.
Love it!
