Barry the baby shoyru has been a very bad little boy! After playing with his marbles he would not keep them on a box. This has certainly angered them and now they are going form revenge!

 


 

Basics
So, on this game you have a screen with a marble and a box. Your objective is to place little luminous triangles as barrier to set the way for marble to enter the box. Each colour marble has its own box.

The marble moves at a fixed speed and the timer (green bar on top) does so too. The speed varies on the level.

The green arrow represents the direction the marble will take and the other objects are bonus or… bad things, aka bombs.

You have three lives, and you lose one (and will have to restart the level) when the time runs out. 


 

Blocks
Little triangles are blocks and you’ll be able to put them on the field to change your marbles direction.

So, these blocks have an interesting effect. They work like they are “one use”. Which means that if a block was bumped it will disappear. Good.

Turning:
To change the marble from a column or line to another.

Blocking:
Allows you to turn quickly. You can space the two blocks in more than a cell if you want, but most of the time you’ll use it like this. 


 

Important Things

With those wonderful screenshots in mind (we can’t directly “quote” them here so the link is free for you to use) you’ll be able to know more or less where to put your blocks.

The perfection comes with the practice and this is a very fast game that requires concentration and a bit of talent. A fast computer and a good mouse (tablet works fine too) are a must have for this game.

Buying level codes (for this game and all the others) is a scam. Don’t fall for it.
