Make5.bas is a small puzzle game where you try to clear the board by removing pieces of the same color. You remove them by making combinations of 5 or more pieces of the same color in the same row or column. Click on the ball to move, then click where you want to move it to. Only large balls can be moved.
Points are scored for pieces that you clear off the board. When the board gets full and no possible moves left then the game is over. See how many points you can make before it's over.
This is an updated and enhanced version of the one posted at the old forum. This new one auto sizes to fit users desktop (not hard coded to a small resolution), the Hi Score is now saved to file, matches are now found both ways at the same time (row+col), and the board and pieces have a better look.

'=========
'MAKE5.bas v2.1
'=========
'A board clearing puzzle game.
'Clear the board of balls and score points.
'Make rows/colums of 5 or more of same color.
'Coded by Dav, JUL/2023 for QB64-Phoenix Edition.
'New for version 2.1:
'
' - Added _ICON call for Linux users.
' (Needed for QB64PE icon to be used by program)
' - Removed slow _MOUSEINPUT polling for faster method.
' - Because mouse is faster, the board size can now be
' bigger on larger desktops (not capped out as before).
'===========
'HOW TO PLAY:
'===========
'Colored balls will appear randomly on the playing board.
'Move bigger balls of same color next to each other to form
'rows and columns of the same color. Make a row/column of 5
'or more of same color to erase them and score points.
'Three new smaller balls will appear after every move.
'The smaller balls will grow into big ones on the next move.
'You may move the big balls on top of the smaller ones.
'The goal is to see how many points you can score before
'running out of board space, in which the game will end.
'High score is save to a 'make5.dat' file.
'You can press SPACE to restart game.
