NEW GAME: Prism 3D
There’s a floating 3D maze and you’re looking down on it. The idea is to steer a bouncy ball through the hazards, accumulating points and bonuses as you go by waving about your phone and using the accelerometer to angle the screen and bounce the ball in the desired direction… Read the rest
