How to play
- Coloured balls drift around the field. You get one tap per level.
- Your tap sets off a blast. Any ball that touches a blast explodes, and its blast can pop more balls, and so on.
- Pop at least the goal number of balls to clear the level. Pop every ball for a Perfect and a 1,000-point bonus.
- Each pop in the chain is worth more than the one before: the first is worth 10, the second 20, the tenth 100. Long chains score enormous points.
Special balls
- Gold balls make a much bigger blast.
- Purple balls shoot six sparks in a star; each spark pops whatever it hits.
- Blue balls send out a shockwave ring that sweeps across a wide area.
Tips
- Wait for a crowd. Balls keep moving, so watch for a moment when several drift together, then tap right in the middle of them.
- Aim for the specials. A blast that catches a gold or blue ball early gives the chain a huge head start.
- The middle is safer than the edges. A blast in a corner can only spread one way.
- Use the preview. On a computer, the dotted circle shows how big your first blast will be.
