Game Rules

Look at the board - there are some spheres in the middle of its sides. Just click on one of them and it becomes active. The sphere will fly in the direction you point. Inside a small hexagon in the middle of the board you can see some other spheres - they show the color of the next ones, so you may develop your own game strategy. The numbers in a light

blue hexagon at the right of the board indicate the number of unsuccessful attempts left till the end of the game round.

You will get some points if the sphere you have shot joins a group of spheres of the same color and they disappear. You will get ten times more points for every sphere that fell apart if they werent connected to the center of the board. If you havent removed any sphere by your shot - the number of attempts decreases and when it equals to zero new lines will appear from the center of the board and a new game round will begin. New lines will appear if the sphere you have shot hits the sides of the board it has come from and disappears. But in this case you wont lose your attempts.

You may choose between nine different games available (click on the `Pick game button). First six games are single player games and the last three are multiplayer ones.

In the single player game your goal is to remove all the spheres off the board. You will have twice more points if you manage to kick off all the spheres of the same color. On the other hand the number of lines that appear at the end of every game round increases too.

In multiplayer games you should achieve different goals. The board is divided into two parts here. One half of which belongs to you and another - to your opponent. Your goal is to remove all the spheres from your half of the board and those common for both players lying on the line dividing the board. You should also fill the opponents half and make the spheres overflow its borders. Keep in mind that the player on whose part of the board the spheres have been removed will get points.

Try to clear your half of the board and your score will be doubled and the game will be over. In case the spheres overflow the board the game is over too. You will lose all your points and lose the game if spheres overflow the board on your half. Another player must follow the same rules. At the beginning of every game you can choose players - either

human or computer ones. You will watch the game in Demo Mode if you choose both players as computer players.

Watching the Demo will help you to understand the rules of the game.

Beach volleyball is always pleasant. Shining sun, emerald sea, summer vacations:The volleyballies that play this rather funny game will help the player to recollect the best moments of the summer vacations or to while away the time till the moment, when he will put his feet on the sea-coast and will play beach volleyball receiving a perfect suntan and ton of pleasure (including the one from recollecting our volleyballies).

The object of the game is for each player to send the ball regularly over the net to ground it on the opponents court, and to prevent the ball from being grounded on its own court. A point is added to the players score every time when the opponent drops the ball or hits it more then three times in a row.

In the game we used the sideout scoring system. A player wins a game by scoring 15 points with a two-point advantage - this is a classic scheme. We complicated it by the feature when the winner receives additional 1000 points for the points advantage, and if he won for less than 15 minutes, 10 points are added for every second left.

Smooth pseudo 3D animation, realistic physics and striking dynamism - these are the main features of this game. Several levels of difficulty will not let you get bored waiting for the beach season to come. Moreover, you have a possibility to grow professionally here : move from Novice to Expert and Master of Volley Balley.

The game runs on major Linux flavors (RedHat, Debian, Mandrake, SuSE, Slackware and others)
