How to play

• Move your pointer over an orb and the connected group of its colour lights up.
• Click the lit group to clear it. There is no confirm step, and a lone orb is not a move.
• Cleared orbs burst, the orbs above drop down, and empty columns close up towards the left.
• The game ends when no two orbs of the same colour touch. Clear the whole board for a bonus.
• Before your first clear, the level button in the footer cycles Easy, Medium and Hard and deals a fresh board. Easy deals 3 colours, Medium 4 and Hard 5; fewer colours mean bigger groups and longer chains. The game opens on Hard.
• Once you have cleared a group, that button becomes End, which gives up the run and banks what you have. When the run is over it becomes New and deals a fresh board.

Scoring

• A group of n orbs scores (n - 2) x (n - 2), so a group of 2 scores nothing and large groups score far more than small ones.
• Emptying the board adds a 1000-point bonus.
• Your score is banked when the run ends, whether you run out of moves or press End. Best is your highest banked score for the level you played.
