Bobby Game on Ubuntu

The developers behind puzzle game Bobby have made the title free to download and play.

Whilst the game is devilishly simple in theory – you, as a jet-pack powered hero called Bobby, have to knock bouncing balls into the spiralling vortex – it’s a lot (read: much) harder in practice.

The ball-bouncing game features over 75 levels of increasing complexity each stocked with obstacles and layouts designed to frustrate and annoy you. But hey – challenge is just another word for fun, right?

I dislike the lack of customisation for the controls, and its easy to tire of the repetitive gameplay, but free is free, and as a boredom buster Bobby makes for a satisfying way to waste 10 minutes.
