The game ends when a ball enters a hole of a different color or the game timer runs out. A game also ends if you choose a different level from the Difficulty menu, choose New Game from the Game menu, or close InkBall.
Gray is a neutral color. Gray balls can enter a hole of any color, and a gray hole can accept a ball of any color. However, no points are awarded.
When a ball bounces off an ink stroke, a wall, or another ball, it does so at the same angle that it struck.
An ink stroke disappears when a ball hits it. A single ink stroke can affect only one ball.
As you increase the level of difficulty, you can encounter increasing ball speeds, more balls, more holes, and more complex game boards, including puzzle-style boards.
