About Zoomi
A chain of coloured balls spirals slowly toward a hole in the middle, and you sit at the centre firing into it. Land three or more of a colour together and that section pops, the chain closes the gap, and if the join happens to match, it pops again. Clear the whole chain before its head reaches the hole. It is the kind of game that looks gentle for about ninety seconds and then is not.
How to play
Aim the centre turret with the pointer and click to fire into the chain. Match three or more of a colour to clear that section. Clear the whole chain before it reaches the hole.
Controls
- Aim with the mouse or by dragging
- Click or tap to shoot
- Right click or Space swaps to your reserve ball
What makes it worth playing
- Five colours, so a wrong shot is recoverable rather than fatal
- A reserve ball you can swap to, which is the difference between guessing and planning
- Chain sections close up after a pop and can chain into another
- One continuous run, no levels to grind through

Tips from playing it
- Use the swap. Holding the right colour for two seconds beats firing the wrong one now.
- Shoot into the middle of a run of two, not the end of it. A ball inserted between two of a kind pops immediately.
- When the head gets close to the hole, stop trying for combos and just remove whatever is nearest the front.
Why this game is here, and what we changed
Chosen to give the Casual category a second game with a completely different shape to the first, and because the reserve-ball swap gives it more decision-making than the genre usually has. We host it on our own servers, so it loads straight into the page with no third-party ad code and no pre-roll video, and its MIT licence is kept alongside it. We played it through at phone size on 2026-08-27 before publishing this page, and the screenshots above come from that session rather than from the original project.
