krank is a game of dexterity, being somewhere between Breakout and billiard, where the aim of each level is to shove floating stones towards compatible static stones. You control a short chain of stones with your mouse to achieve that. Krank contains the following elements:the snake
- follows your mouse or the analog stick of your
joypad.
the balls
- move if you touch them with the snake or another
ball.
the links
- are like balls, but they bond together if they touch
each other.
the stones
- never move and do nothing else.
the magnets
- unmovable themselves, attract everything that moves.
the number of circles rotating around them indicates how many items may get
captured in them.
A magnet will vanish if:
- it captured at least as many balls as circles are rotating around it;
- all the captured balls have the same color as the magnet;
- it stayed for 3 seconds in the above condition.
If a magnet is fully loaded, but includes links or balls of a different color,
it will explode, but not vanish.
the anchors
- it captured at least as many balls as circles are rotating around it;
- all the captured balls have the same color as the magnet;
- it stayed for 3 seconds in the above condition.
- never move, but bond together with links. the number of
circles rotating around them indicates how many links may bond with them.
An anchor will vanish if:
- it is connected to as many other anchors as circles are rotating around it;
- all the connected anchors and links have the same color as the anchor;
- all other anchors of the same color are fully connected.
If all the above conditions are valid for 3 seconds, those anchors will be
removed.
If an anchor is connected to another anchor, but the connecting chain includes
links of a different color, it will explode, but not vanish.
A connection between two links will be broken if one link is touched by a ball
or captured by a magnet.
For each level you solve, there will be two more levels available to play, so
you can skip levels you don't like.
- it is connected to as many other anchors as circles are rotating around it;
- all the connected anchors and links have the same color as the anchor;
- all other anchors of the same color are fully connected.

The aim of each level is to remove all anchors and magnets.CONTROLS¶
