Gameplay

The row of balls moves along winding tracks. With the ball shooter, you place colors so that chains disappear. Because gaps and newly formed combinations change the position of the remaining balls, you have to weigh up speed and the order of your shots.

Power-ups can clear whole sections of the track or make the current round easier. The tasks increase in difficulty throughout the campaign.

Spells and power-ups

16 different enchantments change the ball shooter's abilities and, according to the developer, create more than 200 possible combinations. You choose suitable effects for the next section instead of repeating the same tactic each time.

Additional power-ups intervene directly in the ball tracks and create time for new color combinations.
