Object:

Try to get 3,4 or 5 in a row. (Vertically, Horizontally or Diagonally)
How:
----
Catch the ORBZ on the pad before they fall off the ramp.
Deposit them in any of the 5 slots.
Pad Control:
--------
Keyboard
The 'z' key moves the pad left.
The '/' key moves the pad right.
The <space bar> drops the ball.
Joystick
Standard joystick movements apply.
Firebutton drops the ball.
Types of ORBZ:

Purple
Super
Bomb
Chaotic
Scoring:
--------
3 horizontally,vertically or diagonally - 1000
4 horizontally,vertically or diagonally - 2500
5 horizontally - 5000
Every ORB blown up by bomb - 500
Every 10 matches, advances you 1 wave.
Each increase in waves, increases the speed of the ORBZ descending down the ramp.
Every 2 waves get you an extra pad. (Max. of 10)
Stuff:
------
1. You start with 5 padz.
2. If you let an ORB reach the bottom of the ramp without catching it, or
if you have an ORB on the pad when another ORB reaches the bottom of the
ramp, you loose the ORB on the ramp, the ORB on the pad (if
applicable), a pad and 1000 points.
3. If you fill all of the slots without a single match, the ORBZ are cleared
and you get a fresh start. HOWEVER, this will cost you 5000 points and a
pad.
4. A bomb will blow up all ORBZ surrounding where the bomb was dropped.
5. Catching a SuperORBZ will allow you to choose between any of the
5 regular ORBZ.
6. When CHAOS!! strikes, keep the Chaotic ORB from entering the slots by
just blocking its' way down with the SuperPad. If you allow the
Chaotic ORB to enter a slot, ALL ORBZ ,in the slots,will be changed
to a new color and you lose 1000 points. The Chaotic ORB will try,
anywhere from 0 to 50 times, to get in. If you keep the Chaotic ORB out,
then you get 1000 points.
