Bungee Ball – Pumpkin Smash is a puzzle game for the iPhone/iPod Touch. The goal of the game is to hit the numbered balls in order. The player has two balls connected by a bungee cord that they need to use to hit the numbered balls. The balls with the bungee cord connecting them can’t leave a designated area.

The area contains the balls and the player has to fling the balls towards the numbered balls. One ball will stop when it hits the edge of the container and the other ball will continue in the direction towards the numbered balls. The player has to figure out the right angle to throw the ball at to have the second ball fling in the correct direction.

As the game progresses the area that contains the ball gets more challenging. There will be things in the middle of the area that the ball can’t pass through. Players have to navigate around the object while getting the correct angle to hit the numbered balls. Another challenge is not hitting the balls out of order. If a one ball and three ball are close by, players have to hit the one ball without hitting the three ball or the game is over.

Bungee Ball – Pumpkin Smash is played by touching the screen and dragging the ball around. The entire game is touch based and the player grabs the ball and can fling the ball in the direction they want to throw it.

Over all, Bungee Ball -  Pumpkin Smash is an entertaining game for puzzle lovers. Players need to figure out the right angle to launch the ball. Each level get progressively harder. If you like puzzle games that involve physics, check out Bungee Ball – Pumpkin Smash in the Apple App Store.
