About The Game

Senkyu is an arcade video puzzle game where 3 rotatable balls consisting of 4 basic colours, yellow, pink, green, blue, fall from the top to the lowest part of the screen. When groups of like-coloured spheres collect together, they disappear and the space is filled in with surrounding spheres. Bonuses are awarded for completing combos and the game ends when the entire screen has been filled up. The game has many modes of play : Single, Puzzle, Vs. Computer and Vs. Player. In Puzzle mode there is continuous, changing backgrounds and additional colours. In the Vs. play modes, the spheres only appear in the four basic colours.

Trivia

This game is known outside Japan as "Battle Balls".
