The Sets here are not really endles, they are very big. Here you start with a computer generated set of stones which is easy to play. Sometimes all stones are scrolling down and new stones will appear an the playfield. The colors of the stones will be mixed more and more and the game will be harder. If you have cleared a set a new one will be generated. In a next set the player has the playing time which remains from the last set. Pipe In the pipes game you have to build a pipe between two barrels. Use the pipe elements that are on the playfield yet. This gives you extra points! Select the pipe elements at the left side of the playfield. Click on the element you want to use and it will apear on the cannon. You can place it by pressing fire. Every level starts with full playing time. Puzzles - Match This is a two players game! The left player controls his cannon with the keyboard and the right player plays with the mouse.
