Version 2 has major interface and feature improvements. The playing field is no longer limited to a predefined size, and the number of balls dropped on and off the field with each move is variable. This version is written in C.
We would like to extend special thanks to Arkady Kaganovsky for the name “”Balltrix”” and to Boris Gorney for taking this experiment seriously.
The object of the game is to gain as many points as possible. Here’s how it’s done:
Each turn, the computer throws 3 or more balls (depending on the game settings) of random colors into random spots of the playing field. The balls are available for preview during the previous turn. Your task is to align 3 or more balls (this is a user-configurable setting) of the same color in a line (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) to make them disappear. This should be done by moving one ball from place to place (note, moving a ball determines the end of the player’s turn). Click on the target ball, then click on the destination, and the ball will go where it is told to go, provided it has a clear path. The balls move horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally. As the game progresses, the number of colors used by computer increases, until finally you lose.:)
The points are assigned each turn depending on how many balls were dropped from the field. You will get 1 point for the minimum required number, and increasing bonuses for more. “
Another thing that really makes BallTriX enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to BallTriX. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
