It is Mancala game. First, choose a hole to pick up with stones. Deposits one of the stones in each hole until the stones run out. If you run run into your own stone, deposit one piece in it. If the last piece you drop is in your own store, you get a free turn. If the last pice you drop is in an empty hole on your side, you capture that piece and any pieces in the hole directly opposite. The game ends when all six spaces on one side of the MANCALA board are empty. Count all the pieces in each stone. The winner is the player with the most pieces.

Conveyor’s ready, pigs are on standby. Tap to send a pig onto the conveyor so it rains balls onto pixel cubes of its own color. The number above its head is its ammo: that’s how many hits it makes. Run out and it leaves the stage; if not, it slips into one of the 5 waiting slots and, when you tap again, it jumps back on the conveyor to fire another round. The conveyor has a capacity—push past the limit and you’ll need to wait. Send them in the right order, manage the flow, and hit the cubes to clear the board piece by piece. Simple mechanic, sticky loop: tap → flow → repeat. Highlights One-tap control: Quick sessions, easy one-handed play. Color matching: Pigs only hit their own color—no target-picking hassle. Conveyor capacity: Timing and queue management add a bite-size strategy layer. 5 waiting slots: Stack, sort, and launch at the perfect moment. Short but “one more round” feel: Perfect for micro-breaks. Satisfying pixel cleanup: Every hit leaves the board feeling crisp. For anyone who loves fast action-puzzles, timing, and flow management. The pigs are ready. The cubes… not so much.
