Gameplay

The game has a prehistoric theme and its premise centers around a snail-like creature pushing around a string of colored stone marbles. Players shoot marbles at the loop in order to clear the level and prevent the string from reaching a specific end point, which will cause the player to lose the level. Marbles can be cleared by the player shooting a similarly colored marble at a grouping that contains two or more marbles of the same color. Players will additionally encounter dark silver marbles that cannot be cleared except in specific circumstances. During game play players can collect bonus items that can make the game easier and also remove marbles, including the dark silver marbles. Players can gain these items by playing a bonus level. The game can be played in three modes, classic, strategy, and survival, and each mode has four difficulty settings, which range from easy to grand master.
