Ballistic is a puzzle game where you need to put three patterned balls next to each other to clear them. The gameplay is similar to Puyo Puyo, but with a twist - you shoot the balls outwards from the center of the screen. In Panic! mode, balls keep coming and you must destroy similar ones to stop them from getting too long and reaching the middle. In Checkmate mode, you have limited balls to clear as many as possible.
