Pnickies is a Tetris-inspired puzzle game where the goal is to connect and eliminate colored balls of the same hue. When balls of matching colors touch, they link together to form larger shapes, and careful stacking is required to keep access to other colors open. The visible game area consists of six columns and twelve rows. There's also a thirteenth hidden row used for storing balls, which is factored into your score. Balls fall from the top of the screen in connected pairs, always entering in the third column. They come in two varieties: plain balls and those marked with stars. Plain balls simply connect with others of the same color, while any group containing two or more stars will cause the entire connected shape to vanish, earning you points.
