Short instructions.

You must move balls around and try to place 5 or more of
the same color on the straight line. There are 6 different colors,
and after each turn you get 3 random balls on the field.
Each time you place five ( or more ) in a row 
( row crossings of the same color are also possible ) - these
balls will be removed and you get points ( and another move ).
To move balls around - just click on the desired ball to
select it ( ball starts jumping ), then on the desired [free] field.
If there is a way to this field - ball moves there. If not - ball
gets deselected, and you have to try another ball.

You always have a preview, which 3 colors will be placed on a field 
on the next turn. ( top - middle ).

If you do not like to move balls you can force next turn with Next button.

Game goal is to earn as many points as possible.

When the field is full with balls - press new game to start over.




If you like to customize ball images - just change gif files, but 
pay attention that all of them are quadratic and the same size.
You may adjust applet size tags also.
