How to play: Move the mouse to position the fruits horizontally. Drop them with left click. 

Create a connected area of one colour that touches both borders to clear it.

When a particle crosses the red line at the top, it's game over!

The game has two game modes. In the "classic" mode, there is a fixed number of colours ranging from five to seven.
There's also a "special" game mode. This mode starts with four colours, with more being added as you continue to clear particles.

Reaching certain score goals will earn you 'Magic Wands', a power-up that can be used to remove all particles of a selected colour from the board.

Note: This is still a work in progress. The project was mainly intended to help me familiarise myself with the Raylib library, so there may be some wonkiness here and there.

When playing on Firefox, the frame rate is somehow limited to 32 FPS. I have yet to figure out how to fix this. I got ~60 FPS when I tested it on Brave.

Downloadable versions for Windows and Linux are also available. These offer a better performance than the web version. (Tested on Windows 11 and Linux Mint).

no need to use the wands, ever! just keep dropping on the edges forever, paying attention to the colours and choosing carefully which side to drop on. very fun game, fantastic time waster. probably could/should have more to it.

Hey, thank you!😊

Yeah, I honestly didn't consider that strategy at all during development. 😅

Still thinking of ways to prevent this and further expand the game.

The trick is to just drop fruits off at the edges. Then you only need two to cover the whole bottom, and it's easy to get parts removed. Then save up, and hopefully by the time you reach the top, you'll have six wands saved up and you can use them on all the fruits except one and there will be nothing left. It would be cool if it had emptying the board or getting enough wands that you can as a win condition.

Oh wow! An exploit has already been found this quickly.😄

Looks like there's still a lot of work to be done here...
