Falling Balls is a non-violent kidsafe tetris-like game for children and adults of all ages. You can choose from various ray-traces ball types in differential game of falling blocks.
Falling Balls is a one player game with some similarities to tetris. As groups of balls fall from the top of the playing field, you must rotate and flip them into position so they form groups of the same color. These groups are removed and balls from above fall.
You can pause the game at any time to study the layout of the playing field. Along with the balls, there are Wild Cards, Bombs, and Gold Chests to make the game more interesting.
A group must have the balls in a line, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. When you play the harder levels there will be more colors and it will be harder to form the groups. If a group has 4 or 5 balls of the same color all in a row, you will receive a BONUS.
If you have a BONUS, you can hit the 'B' key and all the balls in the bottom row will change to the bonus color and all newly formed groups will be removed. You receive 'Turn-Ups' after a designated number of balls are successfully dropped.
With a 'Turn-Up' you can hit the 'T' key and the entire playing field will turn upside down, fall to the floor and all new groups will be removed. If you turn on 'CISCOS CAVE' you will be shown the 'next block of balls', but you will earn half the points while 'CISCOS CAVE' is on.
