Gameplay

The player matches balls with different values to gain points. Balls marked "3" disappear when 3 or more are matched, with the same applying to those marked "4", "5" and "6". The player can swap the positions of balls in a 2 by 2 square. Combos that grant extra points occur when a series of chains are attained consecutively. [1]

Thomas of IGN praised its versatile game design and called it one of the best puzzle games on the DSiWare service.
