Wind, arc, speed, alignment, and more are just some of the factors a kicker must consider. Are you up to the challenge? Prove it in two single player modes, one more nail biting than the other, compete online or locally in multiplayer mode, plus earn achievements and climb leaderboards on Game Center.

The arcade-style gameplay has a forgiving learning curve, though also contains enough realistic elements to make it addictively difficult.

Unlockable, themed footballs are the only customization and this is only one aspect of the game of football.

Take a good look at the board while it is lit up because the lights will go out! You must then match elements to create electrical currents that will briefly illuminate the board, disintegrate the elements, and turn them into gold. While the board is briefly illuminated from creating a match, you will have another chance at seeing where elements are located and how they’re aligned. If you wind up not getting a good enough look, you can use a hint. The game includes three modes, loads of ways to upgrade your gold producing machine, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

If you’re tired of the same old matching games, Aureus is perfect for you. It successfully combines multiple elements to bring you something wholly unique.

Aureus doesn’t have many shortcomings, but if we’re going to nitpick, it would be nice if the game had a campaign or level mode where you could continually progress instead of having to play in one sitting.
