## In short

Pearlpath is a marble shooter. A wizard stands in the middle of a cave while a chain of colourful balls rolls along a winding track toward a hole. You aim with the mouse, click to shoot and burst balls of matching colours. With no shots at all, the chain reached the hole after about five and a half minutes in our test.

**How to control it:** Computer: press Play, move the mouse to aim the wizard and click to shoot. The score is at the top left; the speaker button at the top right switches the sound and the X button goes back to the start screen. Phone or tablet: turn the device sideways, tap Play and tap where you want to shoot.

**Pearlpath** is a marble shooter that runs in your browser. A small wizard in a blue hat stands in the middle of a dark cave. A chain of colourful balls rolls along a long winding track toward a glowing hole, and your job is to burst the balls before they get there.

## How to play

1. Press **Play** on the start screen. The chain of balls starts to roll along the track.
2. **Move the mouse** : the wizard turns to face your pointer.
3. **Click** to shoot the ball the wizard is holding into the chain.
4. Put a ball next to balls of the same colour to make the group burst. The score at the top left goes up.
