I can't think of a good name for my upcoming game. [video]

Check it out. Your initial impressions may help me come up with a name for it.

This game is a work in progress and may not be representative of the release version.

Instructions:

* Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines connect circles of the same color.

* A move is made by selecting a column. Any color match with at least one of its two circles in that column will have them shrunk.

* Roughly, circles in between will change to that color and gaps in between will create circles of that color.

* When a stack of circles lands, it will be automatically selected with behavior as above.

Looks like a cross between connect four and tetris.

Beyond calling it `blue balls` I'd suggest making up a name which has a domain available.

Or just call it Connectris.

Also reminds me of a Star Trek TNG episode (The Game iirc) which had this game that just played itself if you let it, it almost seems to be like that.
