	Balltris  License: Freeware
	Balltris is an incredibly addictive color matching game - a Challenging New Twist on Tetris! The major new concept in Balltris is that the game has two entirely different goals depending on the number of options you choose. The first goal, a classical Tetris objective, is to position the falling balls consecutively across the bottom of the screen, eliminating them before they reach the top. The second goal is just the opposite: you need to position the falling objects across the bottom, stacking the lines to the top of the screen as fast as you can. If you choose to go for the latter, extremely demanding is the two-color balls option where you will be confronted with the basic laws of Mathematics trying to piece the falling debris together. Rack your brains and have fun trying to manage the unmanageable. Our latest title appeals to both puzzle veterans and rookies. It features a fat selection of options to tweak the game to your liking: plenty of sound effects and graphics galore. Our user-friendly interface will make it difficult to put the game down. Balltris will surely sharpen your spatial skills and test your reflexes to the limit, especially on the harder difficulty levels. In a word, try your hand in Balltris and beat your best score!
