Take your
pick of several ray-traced ball types in this variation on the
falling blocks game. Falling Balls is a one player game with
some similarities to tetris.
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 to study the layout of the playing field.
Along with the balls, there are Wild Cards, Bombs, and Gold
Chests to make the game more interesting.
A group must
have the balls in a line, either horizontally, vertically or
diagonally. 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. If you have 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 block of balls', but you
will earn half the points while 'CISCOS CAVE' is on.
Use Wild Cards to complete groups.
Use Gold Chests to gain more points.
Use dynamite to blow up Gold Chests, Wild Cards or groups of
balls.
For all
