More about this game
The goal is to organize sixteen mixed balls so that each of the four colors—red, yellow, green, and blue—has its own dedicated tube. You start with four tubes, each containing a randomized stack of four balls. You must shift the balls between the containers, utilizing the maximum capacity of six balls per tube to temporarily store pieces. The difficulty remains constant as you plan your moves. A run ends in victory when all four tubes hold exactly four identical colors.
Tips
- Since tubes hold up to six balls, you can temporarily stack two extra balls on top of a starting stack of four to free up space elsewhere.
- Look at the bottom balls in each tube; try to uncover a tube that already has two or three matching colors at its base.
- The game tracks your total moves and time in seconds, so plan your transfers carefully before tapping to keep your final move count low.
FAQ
- Can I move any ball from the middle of a tube?
- No, you can only select and move the topmost ball in any given tube. You must move the balls above it first to reach the ones buried at the bottom.
- How many balls can fit inside a single tube?
- Each of the four tubes can hold a maximum of six balls at a time. If a tube turns red when you try to move a ball, it means that container is completely full.
- How do I know when I have won the game?
- You win the game when all four tubes contain exactly four balls, and every ball inside a specific tube matches in color. A victory screen will show your total time and moves.
