Fancy a little game?

The goal: Try to turn the honeycombs in such a way that you're forming a continuous passage
By clicking on the blue arrows which appear when you move the cursor over the piece you want to move. If you press the Shift-key you can turn several pieces at once.
Once connected, the red ball will roll to the white ones and gobble them up. If you need to move the red ball out of the way to turn a piece, click on the desired location which will be marked by a red arrow and it will roll there.

Notice: Your PPP-connection may get cut once the game is loaded. Therefore no additional information will reach you once you start playing.

This is how it works:
The yellow status-bar at the top indicates how many of the elements have already been connected. If you see a red section you will know that the computer is getting desperate: it is increasingly harder for it to place the balls in such a way that they cannot be reached.
You've won the game when the computer cannot place any more balls.

Honeycombs occupied by a ball cannot be turned or moved.
The longer the balls are resting the darker they get, after some time they're black and will burst. This is your chance to turn or move the unoccupied element and connect it well.

Another tip:
After the initial click all connected paths show up in yellow. Don't just attempt to add to those yellow ones, but also try to connect as many of the grey ones as possible. Often the connection between both sections happens surprisingly, all of a sudden. Also, avoid "loops", circular connections. You will lack the extra exits, besides, the program gets a little confused and may take longer for its calculations. Please be patient once there are only a few balls lying in inaccessible places: perhaps you have already won, only the computer hasn't realized it yet.

As author I naturally have some practise (by testing it extensively) and mostly I managed to win after a few minutes. If, however, you should get totally stuck: pressing "n" will reshuffle the game anew and starts it again. Or else try "Reload."

This is a beta-version only, slowly I'm running out of time. Anyway: One errror has turned up. However, it appears so rarely that I couldn't reproduce it, and consequently not repair it.

I'd love to get your feedback:

Have fun!
