About this game
Balls travel around a frictionless rail network, passing or colliding as they move. The goal is to bring the blue and orange balls back to seats of the same color. Switching points and using collisions changes where they will go next. A white ball adds another moving object to work with. The player can choose a stage and ball speed, then release balls and operate the two colors of points separately to arrange the return routes.
