Each of the game's 30 play fields consists of a number of different colored blocks. Your goal is to remove them all by changing your ball's to the matching color. Sometimes you need special items like bombs to break a few bricks. Or you make monsters smash the bricks for you. Some hints: - Use your turbo ability to bounce up/down faster. To activate/deactivate turbo mode touch the middle, bottom area of the screen. - Reduce the game speed in the Options to make the game easier.
