Ball Bomb

 "Micom Basic Magazine" Aug 1987 Issue

The game:

bbomb-fig1

 Green balls disappear when two of them collide.
The object of the game is to make all green balls disappear.

You control a strange red creature and can only push blocks with arrows on them.

When you push that block toward the green ball,
the green ball moves in the direction of the arrow on that block,
and the block itself disappears.

The pink enemies can not move,
but neither you nor the green ball must touch them.
bbomb-fig2

 If you move the green ball as shown on the left figure,
you will be run over by the green ball and die.
bbomb-fig3
 You can safely move the green ball
by moving the block with the arrow beforehand in this way.

Good luck!
