Ever think that moving around a bunch of balls on a table could capture your attention like no other game? Download this ravishing game, and you'll find yourself spending hours with it in an attempt to beat your own record!

Rules of the Game

Funny Balls is a simple logical game for one player. The game is played on a 5x6 board filled with 6 different types of balls. The goal of the game is astonishingly simple: move around the balls to get rid of them and earn the most points.

Every time three or more balls of one type are lined up (horizontally or vertically), they disappear, and you score 5 points for each disappeared ball. The balls that were above the disappeared ones fall down and the empty cells are filled with new balls.

You can move adjacent balls only when this will lead to disappearing of some balls. The game play continues until you cannot interchange any more balls. You'll be shown your score and informed if you have the best.
