Atlantis

About

Atlantis is a puzzle game where you shoot marbles into a grid to clear them before they escape. Use your mouse to aim the launcher and fire pairs of marbles. Match three or more of the same color in a row to make them disappear. Each cleared set earns points but the real challenge is stopping marbles from reaching the bottom. If too many escape you lose a life. The game ends when you run out of lives. Simple controls let you focus on timing and color patterns. The game’s straightforward design hides a sharp challenge curve. Early levels teach the basics but later stages pile on pressure as marbles fill the board faster. A swapping mechanic lets you adjust your shot by swapping the two marbles in the launcher. This adds a layer of planning without slowing the pace. Released in 2005 it remains a crisp example of casual puzzle design. The lack of fluff means every move counts.
