  1. Goal and board

    This is a solo game on a 9×9 board with seven ball colours. Score points by forming straight lines of at least five balls of the same colour.

  2. Moving a ball

    Select a ball, then an empty destination. There must be a clear route through horizontally or vertically adjacent empty cells. The route may turn, but the ball cannot jump over other balls or move diagonally.

  3. Clearing lines

    Completed lines may be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. All their balls disappear. If a move completes several lines, they clear together; a shared ball is counted only once. Each removed ball earns one point.

  4. New balls

    If your move clears no line, three new balls appear in empty cells, provided there is space. The preview shows their colours to help you plan. Lines formed by newly appearing balls also clear.

  5. Ending and records

    The game ends when the board fills. This game's ranking compares points: higher is better. Closing the game ends the current attempt; reopening starts a fresh board. “New game” also replaces the current attempt after confirmation.
