Controls

In-game (Mouse/Touch mode): Tap or drag anywhere to aim · Release to fire

Mouse (desktop browser / Mouse mode)

Fairness note: Mouse and touch aiming is point-and-click (easier than keyboard left/right). In network games, the host can toggle Mouse/Touch mode in the room settings — it syncs to all players.

Network Multiplayer (2–5 players)

Play over LAN or internet. The lobby shows a world map with colored dots for each connected player. The host can configure chain reactions, malus targeting, victory limits, color counts, and more — all synced in real time.

Game Modes

• Single Player — 100 levels, scoring, chain reactions
• 2-Player Local — Two players on the same keyboard or controllers
• LAN Game — Auto-discovers servers on your network
