Zoomi

About the game

A long chain of coloured balls winds along a spiral groove toward a hole in the middle of the screen. In the middle sits your turret, loaded with a ball. Shoot it into the chain: if it lands next to two or more balls of its colour, they pop and the chain closes up behind the gap.

You win by clearing every ball before the head of the chain falls into the hole. The turret holds two balls and you can swap them, which is the way to set up chain reactions: when a gap closes and two matching groups meet, they pop together, and the combo scores more.

A few things worth knowing

Hit the front of the chain. Pushing it back buys the most time.

Set up combos. Leave a gap between two matching groups, then fill it with the same colour.

Swap, do not waste. If the ball in hand has no good target, swap to the other one.
