The puzzle everyone knows, built natively for Garmin watches. Tap a tube to lift its top ball, tap another to drop it. A ball only lands on its own colour or in an empty tube. Fill a tube with four of the same and it's done.
Easy to start, hard to put down. One level is a minute at a bus stop; expert is forty balls and a single free tube to work in.
HOW IT PLAYS
Tap a tube to pick up the ball on top
Tap another tube to drop it — same colour, or an empty tube
A whole run of the same colour moves in one go, so you never repeat the same tap
Undo as many times as you like
Finish every tube and the level is solved
FOUR DIFFICULTIES
EASY — 4 colours, 6 tubes, room to breathe
NORMAL — 6 colours, 8 tubes
HARD — 8 colours and only one free tube
EXPERT — 10 colours, 40 balls, one free tube
Each difficulty keeps its own progress. Reach level 20 on normal and expert still starts you at level 1, where it should.
EVERY LEVEL IS THE SAME LEVEL
Level 7 on hard is the same board today, tomorrow and on someone else's watch. Restart replays the level you are on — never a different one — so a puzzle you got stuck on is a puzzle you can come back to and beat.
Levels never run out.
THREE STARS OR NOTHING
Stars come from your move count, not from finishing. Solve it under par for three, twice par for two. Perfect runs, best score and average are kept between sessions.
CONTROLS
Buttons or touchscreen, whichever your watch has. On a button watch, up and down move a gold ring from tube to tube, start picks up and drops, back pauses. Nothing to learn.
MADE FOR THE WATCH
Every screen is laid out from the tube count, not from a fixed grid, so six tubes and eleven tubes both read properly
Artwork drawn per screen size, from a 176px Instinct to a 454px fenix
On the 64-colour MIP watches the artwork is delivered pre-quantised, so there is no dithering — the balls are clean, not confetti
Black background: on an AMOLED that is the part of the screen that costs nothing to light
NO NONSENSE
No internet. No account. No ads. No timer, no lives, no waiting to play again.
MAKE IT YOURS
Four difficulty levels
Vibration on or off
Statistics you can reset
A controls page that shows your watch's controls, not the other one's
