Same Color

So they could have been a bit more creative when they named "same color." But at the end of the day, this is just the kind of game you are looking for to play on a mobile device, so who cares if the name is a bit poor.

Not all games were made to be played on mobile devices. The designers have to understand that if they want people to play their game on a PDA, they need to build in a screen that is simple and won't get lost on the smaller visuals that most people are using. That means that you should not have such features as screen in screen or heads-up display.

Same Color does not rely on these gimmicks. Simply, you need to line all the circles up in the same color before they reach the bottom of the screen. There are many games that are similar, but if you are looking for one optimized for a mobile game, this may be your best bet.

The controls are simple. It won't be your fingers that trip you up, it will be your mind. You need to be thinking two steps ahead of every move to keep a good pace going. While the game is not hard at the beginning, the degree of difficulty quickly increases and you go up in levels.

I wouldn't give the game my highest rating. But it's not bad. It is certainly something you can enjoy killing time with for a few hours.
