Luck is too big a factor
This isn't a bad game, but i wouldn't recommend it because the gameplay is flawed at the core.
You get a field with balls and you have to fill certain locations on that field with the same colour ball. You do this by clicking on balls to make them and balls with the same colour disappear vertically and horizontally. You …

You get a field with balls and you have to fill certain locations on that field with the same colour ball. You do this by clicking on balls to make them and balls with the same colour disappear vertically and horizontally. You get points for making more disappear, but that is not the goal of the game.
What happens is that whereas in a match-3 game (which this is not!) you 'play' the whole field, here you focus on a few columns at a time. Luck is a far greater factor here. And especially in very small columns this becomes problematic. Some have only 2 locations, leaving very little room for strategy. You just have to hope to get the right colour.
Other than that the main menu is rather clumsy. Who puts a "reset all stats" button in their main menu? Aligning everything to the left makes it look weird in widescreen resolutions too.
This game might appeal to hardcore puzzle fans but i have to give it a thumbs down.
