Howling Moon Software has announced the release of ScribBall for the iPhone and iPod touch. It's available for purchase and download from the App Store for US$3.99.

Based on Howling Moon's Mac game of the same name, ScribBall for the iPhone is a color matching puzzle game with a few twists. Differently colored balls descend from the top of the screen -- when a group of four balls of the same color touch, they will pop. The goal is to quickly and strategically tap out a few balls to create combinations before the playing field fills up. There are power up balls that can change the play a bit, such as exploding ones that will knock around the balls closest to them, lightning strikes and more.

ScribBall features realistic physics -- balls cascade and jostle around realistically, and Howling Moon Software has taken the game a step beyond its Mac roots on the iPhone, as balls will tumble when you tilt your iPhone. The game also features hand-drawn graphics, giving ScribBall a unique "doodle" style.

ScribBall works on any iPhone or iPod touch running iPhone 2.0 software.
