 How to Play Black Hole  

The game begins with a playing field consisting of 81 empty squares. Blue and red balls appear at regular intervals and start moving:

You may change the direction of the balls’ movement by placing obstacles. There are two types of obstacles in the game: Tapping once on an empty square places a right oriented obstacle You can place a left oriented obstacle in two ways – by tapping twice on an empty square or by tapping on it once while holding the Address Book application button. You can change the direction of an already placed obstacle if you tap on it.

Black holes appear when a blue and a red ball cross their routes .You can make them disappear if you send there two consecutive balls of the same color. The first ball marks the black hole with its color – blue  or red . The second ball removes the black hole. In case a ball of the opposite color goes through a marked black hole, the color changes and the second ball needed to remove the black hole must be of the new color.

When two balls of the same color cross their routes, they form a square of the corresponding color: blue or red. To move on to next levels you must add enough squares to your pile. You can add the squares by tapping them and you are awarded 15 points for each one. Squares are also added to the pile if a ball of the opposite color hits them, but in this case you don’t get points. You can view the pile at any time by pressing the Scroll up button on your Palm device. Press the button again to return to the game.

Squares pile up depending on whether at the time of picking them up they were single or more adjacent ones of the same color. They start filling the rows of the pile. Each row contains one square if it was single or several in case they were adjacent. Tapping only on one of them can pick up the adjacent squares.

The pile limit is determined by a horizontal bar falling one row with each black hole on the playing field. When the black holes are removed the bar lifts up. The level ends when the squares reach the bar. The bar pushes them down and they are arranged in the first row that they manage to fill. The next level you will play is the one the bar points at. In case you fail to pile up enough squares to move on to a higher level two consecutive times, the game ends.

Scoring

In this game you will find a record of the best scores. For each red or blue square you add to your pile you are awarded 15 points. The higher speeds of balls’ movement and of the new balls appearing also contribute for a higher score. To view the scores go to Menu|Game|High Score.

 Controls  

To play Black Hole you can use the pen.

 Game Settings  

The game begins with normal speed of balls’ movement and normal speed of new ball appearance on the playing field. If you wish to set different speeds go to Menu|Game|New Game and choose one from the list provided.

Note! The demo version of the game allows you to play only the start level at normal speed.

 Tips  
  • To make black holes disappear, send there two consecutive balls of the same color. The first ball marks the hole with its color and the second ball removes it.

  • Tap the blue and red squares to add them to your pile. You may view the pile at any time by pressing the Scroll up button.
