Slide the ball to color the squares with a gentle swipe until it hits a wall. The goal is to color the entire map within a limited number of moves; one extra step can lead to complete failure. Collect coins along the way to achieve a three-star rating. Later, colored squares will turn into walls, and you can't go back. The rules are simple and easy to understand, but the levels become increasingly challenging. You can also unlock tons of personalized skins and play anytime, anywhere, even in short bursts of free time.
