iPad: Northern lights game

Northern lights is like peggle for nerds... Well peggle is also like peggle for nerds, but anyways. This game brings peggle and the astrological signs together, as well as mixing in some other constellations. The premise is the same as peggle, get rid of all the balls before you run out of shots.

Main difference in this game is you can charge up your shot with magic, and fire a laser which will destroy everything in its path. The game progresses through 44 levels of complication, starting out simply with having to destroy all of the red balls,and moving into balls that take more than one hit to break, as well as balls that are indestructible

Then, about 2/3 of the way through the game black holes appear, these will redirect your shots, or if you aren't careful, eat them entirely. If you shoot too often into the black hole, it will expand and suck in everything around it before collapsing. This isn't as bad as it sounds, and is actually the only way to finish one of the levels that I could find...

Over all, a decent game, which is currently free, for wasting a couple of minutes at the doctors office, or while grocery shopping...:)
