- Arena: Filled with spheres of your colour and your opponents. You must try and avoid hitting your opponent's balls.
- Trails: Collect spheres to grow longer than your opponents. Then block their path and pay attention to your own. And should the other players try to keep their distance, just fling your spheres at them.
There are a few team modes:
