This Windows game is a one player game of strategy with some similarities to Tetris. Along with Ray-traced balls, there are Wild Cards, Bombs, and Gold Chests to make the game more interesting. Analyzing the playing field is more important than quick fingers. As groups of balls fall from the top of the playing field, you must rotate and flip them into position so they form groups of the same color. These groups are removed and balls from above fall. You can pause the game at any time, and you will want to pause it in order to study the layout of the playing field. Think about the placement of the groups, especially for the harder difficulty levels.
When you play the harder levels there will be more colors and it will be harder to form the groups. If a group has 4 or 5 balls of the same color all in a row, you will receive a BONUS. With a BONUS, you can hit the 'B' key and all the balls in the bottom row will change to the bonus color and all newly formed groups will be removed. You receive 'turn-ups' after a designated number of balls are successfully dropped. With a 'turn-up' you can hit the 'T' key and the entire playing field will turn upside down, fall to the floor and all new groups will be removed.
If you turn on 'CISCOS CAVE' you will be shown the 'next group', but you will earn half the points while 'CISCOS CAVE' is on.
TOP-10 scores are recorded for all difficulty levels.
SoundBlaster support for music and sound effects.
Ray-traced blocks look best with high-color or true-color.
