Description

Borench is a puzzle game in which the player has to guide a rolling ball to the goal. The ball starts on top of the angled playfield (45 degrees) and rolls down in a straight line. Said playfield consists of square fields, but unfortunately it has holes - and when the ball falls into one, the game is lost. The player moves a cursor over the playfield and can place special tiles on squares which cause the ball to change direction (left, right, down or up).

The "+" tile is basically a ramp which allows to avoid squares marked with an "X". Those are deadly at touch and are created when the ball moves over a tile (in later levels, there are already "X" squares on the playfield). Moving over question marks slows down the ball and rewards bonus points. In multiplayer, two players alternate and can compare points, but don't interact with each other.
