Liking this. It's a simple and easy to understand game initially but there seems to be quite a bit of complexity in the explosions wich would add depth as you learn more of the strategy.

I was only playing by myself but I had a few surprises where the losing colour came right back and won in only a few turns.

Only thing it's missing is a "replay" button once somebody wins.

:)

Thanks for the feedback. The game can turn around very quickly, and that's part of the fun ( frustration ).

If you want to play a new game you can just click back on the 'Menu', then on 'New Game'

I can only try the 2 player version. It's not really fun cause the first player seems to have a big advantage. But i'm sur it's fun with more player. I'll try it as soon as i can. Great audio and graphics.

I love hexagons and chain reactions; this is fun!

Ah, yes...another game I can beat my girlfriend at.

It's a refreshingly simple game. But it's definitely in need of a computer controlled enemy to play against.

Great game! I wish there was a computer opponent, cos I had to play by myself. I like how quickly the tables can turn.

Indeed, this game has a neat personality with its music, sounds, and exploding balls. I think the win condition is not very clear, but it's still fun just to play with the little explosions.

Thanks @loxo and @chowdy. I will try and get a version up with AI soon!

Red Player wins!! I think this game would be a really fun casual time waster if you had an AI working!

Really neat strategy game. It is more complex then it seems at first. An AI version would be awesome.

Hard to gauge the subtleties of the gameplay without an AI. barring any easy-win scenario it looks like a solid idea.

Love the music and animations. I played the 2p version.
