What if the Highlander series had rice balls as the protagonists and antagonists? For one, it would be more entertaining. For two, the series would have more depth & could resemble this game.
Select any rice ball and move it in the direction of another rice ball to bump the second rice ball off the screen.
Keep switching which rice balls you select and bump as needed until only 1 remains: There can be only one.
Avoid bumping into spikes, use blocks as temporary stop points, and play through 30 fun filled levels.
Help Marty MacRice from the clan MacRice become the one.

Game Play
Basics
The goal of this game is to bump the rice balls at each other to where there is only one rice ball on the screen.
You can only bump rice balls vertically or horizontally. They can not move at any other angle
When you bump rice balls into each other the ball initiating contact stops the square before the ball it hits.
The ball it hits continues until it flies off screen or bumps into something else.
You can set off a chain reaction where 3 or more balls change positions on a single move.
Spikes
Starting on level 6 spikes appear in the game.
If any rice ball bumps into a spike you instantly lose the level.
Blocks
Some stages have square blocks on them.
These blocks can act as temporary stops for your rice balls.
When a rice ball hits a block the rice ball stops and the block disappears.
You are not required to destroy all blocks to beat every stage with a block on it, though in most cases you typically do need to use the blocks to beat the level.
Levels
This game has 30 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
You can go back and replay previously beat levels at any time.
Winning vs losing
You win by safely removing all but one rice ball from the screen.
You lose by knocking a rice ball into a spike, or by directly pushing a rice ball offscreen without having another rice ball bump into it.
This game offers unlimited continues, starting you at the beginning of the stage you are on.
If you have misaligned rice balls which can not possibly hit each other you can also restart the level again, even though you did not “lose” yet.
Tips
If you make a nonlethal mistake use the move undo button.
In most cases you want to try to move rice balls that are furthest out from the grid inward toward the pile so that you can keep making subsequent moves.
Pay attention to rice balls in rows or columns with spikes, as those limit your move option. Always move away from the spikes or orthogonally to them.
You typically need to use the blocks to beat most stages that have blocks on them.
Many levels have multiple different ways to beat them.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who like slide puzzle games.
The game has no adult themed content.
