Game Elements

The following are the various game elements you’ll notice when playing Zaxxoids:

Orbs

Come in four colors: red, blue, green, and purple. These can be eliminated by forming lines of three or more balls and/or Zaxxoids of the same color, or destroyed by a bomb. Orbs can be free to roll or “locked” in place. You must eliminate all Zaxxoids in order to successfully complete a level.

Standard Balls

Come in four colors: red, blue, green, and purple. These can be eliminated by forming lines of three or more balls and/or Zaxxoids of the same color, or destroyed by a bomb. Balls can be free to roll or “locked” in place.

Black Balls

Cannot be destroyed except by using a bomb. Black Balls can be free to roll or “locked” in place.

Timebombs

Will explode when their timer reaches zero.

Fuse Bombs

Will explode when they come to rest.

Critical Cells

Are marked with a “hazard” symbol. If a ball or Zaxxoid comes to rest on a Critical Cell, you’ll have a limited time to move it away or else lose the level.

Flying Ball Delivery Robots

These place new balls and bombs on the playing field.

Spawning Cells

Are marked with a “target” symbol. The flying ball delivery robots will place balls onto the playing field on these cells. If a ball or Zaxxoid comes to rest on a Spawning Cell, you’ll have a limited time to move it away or else lose the level.

No-Bomb Cells

These look like a normal cell, but when a bomb enters them it is vaporized.

Gates

These are the parts that block the bottom right or bottom left side of a cell. You can flip the gates by left-clicking on the cell.

Flags

Flags are placed by center-clicking on a cell. They have no effect on other game elements, but can help you mark no-bomb cells, gates you don’t want to flip accidently, etc.
