Your first game in five steps
Open the demo
Go to the game frame and follow the demo’s start menus to begin.
Look for a reachable match
Before choosing one of the upper blobs, find the same number below. Notice anything blocking the direct route.
Aim with the arrow
Press and drag to choose the launch direction. A nearly downward shot is a useful way to begin learning the movement.
Release and observe
Try a gentle launch first. Then compare a stronger shot toward a similar area and watch which other pieces move.
Let the board settle
Look at the new openings and matches before launching again. Describe one thing the last shot changed.
