# Five+ Manual

> Welcome to Five+, a simple but very addictive game.

> The main objective of the game is getting points. These are indicated in the LCD in the left upper corner. The board occupies the biggest part in the game window. There are differently colored balls spread all over the board:

> You get points by aligning five or more balls of the same color horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
> To move a ball mark it with a left-click, then release the mousebutton and click on the destination field. A marked ball has a white glow around it.

> Usually, the ball will take the shortest path to it's destination field (making horizontal and vertical, but no diagonal moves), but there are situations that do not allow certain moves. This will be indicated by a short sound effect.

> You cannot make this move:

> But you can do this:

> Complete rows raise your score and free up the board by disappearing. Three new balls appear on the board after every move that does not result in completing a row. The location of the new balls is random, as well as the color. The next colors can be seen in the right upper preview window. The game is over when the board is full.
