2. Scoring
Whenever there are 5 or more identical (same color) balls vertically, horizontally or diagonally in a row , these balls will be removed from the board. Consequently, the player win a score calculated by the formula below.
5 balls: 10
6 balls: 14
7 balls: 20
8 balls: 28
9 balls: 38
The rule is the same when the number of balls exceeds 10. Especially, when two lines intersect, the total number of balls in the two lines will be counted.

Select the ball you want to move (the selected ball will shake back and forward). Then click the target cell to move the ball if the selected cell and the target cell are connected. If the movement can remove balls in a row, no new balls will be generated. Otherwise three new balls, which can be previewed on the top of the board, will be added to the board. If all the cells are occupied, the game will be over.
