Instructions

Much like in Curling Sports, you have three roundish stones with handles, which can be thrown to slide along or dash together.
However, these are "special editions" which can hover and glide on any terrain (except water), requiring electric power. Each shot uses some energy, the current charge level shows by a color gradient from bright lemon (100%) to dim red (0%).

Fortunately those stones can be recharged - but only in a special way: The individual can't charge itself, but emits strong 120° phase shifted EM-waves. By connecting to a trinity, they can recharge through a circular flow of electrical energy.
To be more specific, if two stones are within range (~7m), their antennas (conductor globes) link up to form an arc of plasma (sugap - supercharged gas particles). This arc also transfers high amounts of energy in a jiffy - so if the Player shoots his stone right through the arc, the trinity recharges rapidly in a furious electric feedback flash.

Conditions

The game will be lost...
- if the stones get fully discharged
- if a stone falls off a platform into the deep.
The game is won...
- if any stone drops into the hole at the final gate
