Wow, that game is great. Like an easy version of Bust-A-Move.

Reminds me a lot of Popcap's Zuma. Wonder which was first...

Just a quick caution that the site mentioned connects to "sextracker.com", as can be seen by viewing the page source. Potentially NSFW therefore.

It's exactly like Zuma, except not as cool...

I'm not sure which is better: the fact that I was offered a cookie from sexcounter.com while pulling this site up, or the phrase "squirty submarine doodad". 6480 before I gave up.

It's exactly like Zuma, except not as cool... However it doesn't require a plugin download...

Whoops, and on not-quick-enough preview: RichAromas: sexcounter, not sextracker, though they both exist.

Ah, I didn't know about Zuma. Sorry about the cookie, folks - is that a deletable offence?

Besides Zuma, there's also Ballistic (PlayStation/GameBoy Color), which was released in 1999 and may have been the first Bust-a-Swirly-Move game. If memory serves, there was also a very similar game released for the Dreamcast.

sninky-chan- Sorry; I got confused because I have so many cookies from similarly-named sites on my machine :-)

Has anyone noticed how the pop-bead things look like little rolled up scorpions? And how sometime they flash white for a while and then have a daisy or an arrow on 'em? And then, when you explode the special marked ones, different stuff happens? (Yep, it's Friday, all right.)

Levels 1-4 are easy, level 5 is near impossible. And I'm pretty good at Zuma. What does the power meter do? Charge balls? How do you power it up?

Both this game and PopCap's Zuma are derivatives of (what I'm pretty sure is) the original, Mitchell's Puzz Loop, which was then released as Ballistic in the US. Just some more game geek trivia there.

I played this until my computer crashed and I had to watch the poor bear drown over and over and over again.

I think the music is by Gus Gus. Sounds like it anyway, though I don't know which song that is.

On my first try, I got within TWO FREAKING BALLS of completing the fifth level. Don't know if it would have been easier or harder if my CPU could have kept up when the screen was full of balls (I think easier). My eyeballs are crusted over, need eyedrops.
