GAME RULES

Your task is to remove the balls from the pool-table by shooting at them with the
balls of definite color and combining together 3 or more balls of the same color.
If the shot was unsuccessful, additional balls appear on the hexagonal net
following the rules of John Conway's Game of Life. The balls that do not have
neighboring balls (single balls) are removed from the table.

When all the balls are removed you go to the next level. If the balls of the
definite color are removed from the table, this color will not appear again on this
level. The game is over if one or more balls touch on the lower edge of the table.
In case the shooting ball strikes against the lower edge of the table, the colors
of the balls on the field are substituted for accidental colors (including already
removed colors). On the right there is a cue which serves as the indicator of the
power of shot: the more it is pulled out upwards the stronger the shot is and the
farther the shooting ball gets between the balls. For every removed ball you get 1
point on the 1st level, 2 points on the 2nd level and so on.

Be very attentive and do not leave the "islets" of balls close to the lower edge of
the table because after 2 or 3 misses the islets can grow and some ball will touch
on the lower edge of the table (that will lead to the end of the game). The winning
strategy is to play from the cusions not letting the balls fill in the whole table.
Try to remove at least one color from the very first shots. Do your best to make
the winning combination (2 or more balls of a definite colors together) for all
colors be available at all times.

Do not forget to send your best result to the International online tournament -
this is
done from the TOP SCORES window.

Be prepared that this game will keep you busy for quite a while.
Good luck!
