Try to take over the board!

Instructions:
- on your turn place a ball either an empty tile, or one of your own colour
- if you place more ball than a tile will carry, it will explode, sending your balls to the surrounding tiles
- exploding balls take control of the tiles they land on

You can play with a friend or three (changing the number of players will also expand the map).

Note: It's a turn based game, so even on your own you can still play - even if it's against yourself :)

Liking this. It's a simple and easy to understand game initially but there seems to be quite a bit of complexity in the explosions wich would add depth as you learn more of the strategy.

I was only playing by myself but I had a few surprises where the losing colour came right back and won in only a few turns.

Only thing it's missing is a "replay" button once somebody wins.

Thanks for the feedback. The game can turn around very quickly, and that's part of the fun ( frustration ).

If you want to play a new game you can just click back on the 'Menu', then on 'New Game'

I can only try the 2 player version. It's not really fun cause the first player seems to have a big advantage. But i'm sur it's fun with more player. I'll try it as soon as i can. Great audio and graphics.

It's a refreshingly simple game. But it's definitely in need of a computer controlled enemy to play against.

Great game! I wish there was a computer opponent, cos I had to play by myself. I like how quickly the tables can turn.

Indeed, this game has a neat personality with its music, sounds, and exploding balls. I think the win condition is not very clear, but it's still fun just to play with the little explosions.

Red Player wins!! I think this game would be a really fun casual time waster if you had an AI working!

Really neat strategy game. It is more complex then it seems at first. An AI version would be awesome.

Hard to gauge the subtleties of the gameplay without an AI. barring any easy-win scenario it looks like a solid idea.

Love the music and animations. I played the 2p version.
