Click or tap on a ball, then drag to draw a line through adjacent balls of the same color. Release to connect a group of three or more and clear them from the board.

Tips for Playing

  • Always look for groups of four or five, as clearing larger groups can trigger bonus combos.
  • Plan your path before you start drawing to avoid getting stuck in dead ends.
  • Focus on clearing the center of the board first to open up more movement options.
  • Use the edges to your advantage when connecting distant balls, as lines can wrap around.
  • If you're stuck, try working backwards from the goal of clearing all balls.
