Mythic Pearls is a color-matching game like Zuma and similar titles, where
the player must match three or more pearls of the same color. A crossbow
cannon can be directed with the mouse to shoot pearls at a string of them.
They slowly revolve around the screen towards a hole. If a number of pearls
enter the hole, the player loses a life.

The pearl loaded on the cannon can be changed by right-clicking with the
mouse. Coins and artifacts on the field can be collected to score more points
and complete the levels faster. Some levels have hammers that can destroy
pearls directly.

Some pearls activate special powers when matched. A freeze pearl stops the
movement for a few seconds. Some pearls explode taking surrounding pearls with
them. The reverse pearl rolls back the string, eliminating the first seven
pearls. The fireball destroys anything in its path. The chroma pearl acts as a
wildcard, and can be matched with any pearl.
