A billiards defense game where you hit approaching enemies with balls of matching color. Stop the enemies before they reach your side of the table.You shoot the silver cue ball to knock the colored balls together. When a blue ball hits a yellow one, their colors mix like paint and both balls turn green. Line up the shot well and you can make the color you need and hit an enemy in the same shot.The enemies have tricks of their own. Frogs travel in leaps, ghosts turn invisible, and chameleons change color. Scorpions use electric beams to catch and destroy balls that roll too close. In later levels, you will meet thieves that run off with your balls and necromancers that raise the fallen.The full game will have over 100 levels. A free 15-level browser demo is available on itch.io, and a Steam demo is planned for November 2026.
