Gluglu is an interesting table game that challenges one's sense of logistics, played with many-colored and differently shaped so-called gluglu balls (alternately to be set with angular shapes). Gluglu is an Hungarian word for marble ball. The game starts with a minimal number of given marbles which are being placed at random inside a pool table. At the same time all around the sides of the table is placed, likewise at random, a continuing line of all different colors and forms of marbles in use(its number starting with four at level One, which will increase one by one after each match solved; may also be changed from the setting).
The purpose of the game is to clear the table of all balls placed inside the table. The game rule basically is that marbles of same color and shape that come to lie next to each other are deleted. From the supplied outer line of marbles, constantly being replenished, one has to roll into the field in a straight line to an inner marble possibly such a piece that matches color and shape of the inner marble, next to which it will come to stop. In this case both or eventually even more of the adjacent marbles, if identical, too, will disappear. But not at all times it is possible to find any such identical marble from any of the sides right away. Otherwise one has to plan ahead logistically and just roll off to the inside any unidentical marble, which will then stay put first in the inner field until such time that from one of the four sides of the table eventually a marble identical with one of the inside marbles standing in a straight line to it, may be rolled off to help clear the table. The field may become quite crowded with marbles, and yet, step by step one will be able to clear it up in the end, by intelligently deploying ones's pieces.
It is a game of patience and of combinations. The lower levels are relatively easy to solve.
Once a table is cleared and one round of the game over, an animated visual feature effect is being unleashed spilling endless numbers of marbles used in the match all across the screen, bigger and smaller ones getting mixed up all together and on top of each other, a certain bonus for having solved it (the animation can be prolonged endlessly by pressing the upper right phone key; pressing any other key will lead to starting automatically a new round and higher level of the game).
The menu comes in Hungarian, English, and also in German and Finnish, thanks to translations done by myself on request of the game's designer from Hungary.
