The Xoki player tries to remove all the marbles from the playing field. Tap a marble to remove it and all the other marbles of the same color that touch it. The only catch is--if no other marble of the same color touches it, the marble is not removed!

How to Install

You must have a handheld with PalmOS Version 2.0 or greater. To find your version, go to the menu on the handheld chooser, pick Info, and then tap Version. The PalmOS Version is the first shown.

To install Xoki:
On your big computer, click on files until you get to a file called

xokprc.zip

Unzip it. You may need Winzip to do this (use Extract)
Now look for to file xoki.prc Click on xoki.prc or double-click it, or somehow get it to be installed on your handheld device.
HotSync as usual.

How to Play

The object of Xoki is to remove all the marbles from the screen.

Press on a marble.
If it touches other marbles of the same color, they form a group.
If you have a color handheld, the group will light up.

If you now lift the stylus from the screen, the group will disappear, and the rest of the marbles will fall down into the vacated spaces.
But you can not remove an isolated marble.

If you do not want the group to disappear, slide the stylus off the group without lifting it.

Remove all the marbles to win the game.

You get points for removing marbles--large groups are worth much more than small groups.

Press the New button to start a new game.

The Preferences on the menu let you play with 4, 5, or 6 different color marbles:

4 Color is Easy
5 Color is Medium
6 Color is Difficult

See your scores with the menu Scores selection.
High scores are kept separately for each number of colors.
The high score, number of games won, and number of games not won are all recorded.
