Fire your ball into the line to hit a ball where your ball and the line ball add up to 10. eg. If your ball is a 4 then try and hit a 6. You can also use your ball to destroy a group of same numbered balls. Your aim is to prevent the line of balls reaching the hole at the end of the channel. When this happens the balls will rapidly pour down the hole and you lose the game.
Initial Ball Line Speed
Decreasing this value will increase slow the growth of the line and give the player more time.
Line Speed Increase Between Levels
Each new level the line starts moving slightly faster. Decreasing this value will lower the increase in difficulty between levels.
Initial Line Length
Decreasing this value will start the first level with less balls.
Increase in line length between levels
Decreasing this value will reduce the increase in balls at the start of each new level.
Percentage of Balls Intially Displayed
Decreasing this value will reduce number of balls displayed at the start of each level. A shorter displayed line means you have more time to complete the level.
Marble shooter rotation speed
Controls the speed of rotation when using single switch scanning. This speed is not linked to the general scanning speed in the 'Player Settings' and must be adjusted here seperately.
Minimum Ball Number
Ball numbers will range from this value to this value + Ball Range. ie. if the Minimum Ball Number is 20 and the Ball Range is 5 then Ball Numbers will range from 20-35.
Ball Range
Ball numbers will range from Minimum Ball Number to Minimum Ball Number + Ball Range. ie. if the Minimum Ball Number is 20 and the Ball Range is 5 then Ball Numbers will range from 20-25. The default Ball Range is 10. A smaller range makes an easier game.
Mouse
Move the mouse to aim the cannon, click to shoot.
Playing by Single Switch
The cannon will rotate slowly clockwise. When it is pointing in the right direction, click the mouse to fire. After you fire the cannon will rotate more rapidly anti-clockwise to allow you to quickly reposition the cannon. Once the cannon has moved past the direction you want to aim at, click the mouse / switch and the cannon will move more slowly forward waiting for you to click the mouse / switch to fire.
Keyboard
Use your cursor keys to rotate the cannon and press the SPACEBAR or ENTER/RETURN key to fire.
Single Switch Scanning
The ball launcher will rotate automatically. Press your key, mouse or switch to launch the ball. The rotation speed of the launcher can be controled using the 'Marble shooter rotation speed' settings below.
NOTE: If you choose "Mouse Click Only (Scanning)" then a large green button will be displayed below the Game Menu and below the Game. Your mouse cursor must be positioned over the large green button while scanning for the mouse/switch clicks to be detected.
