Diamond Ball III

Diamond Ball III is an Arcade-style video game released in 1992. the game runs on the DOS platform and can be controlled with the keyboard. The player needs to carefully maneuver a bouncing colored ball in a maze-like environment.
The maze comprises colored blocks that vanish when touched by the ball; however, for a block to disappear, it must match the color of the ball. Certain blocks within the maze are unique, causing the ball to change color upon contact with them. The ball can only be moved sideways, using the arrow keys, and one must be careful to avoid death blocks.
These death blocks are denoted by a skull and are hard to miss. There are several other obstacles such as immovable walls, traps, barriers, and barrier switches. The objective is to clear all blocks while carefully avoiding the death block, and collecting diamonds. Instructions are provided at the start of the game for easy identification of the various blocks. Once a level is completed, diamonds are unlocked which the player needs to collect to move to the next level.
