The goal is to color all the tiles/dots in order to go to the next level.

Hmmm, thought it would not be difficult to add shapes or even animation, I'm
working on colors instead. I've just got a very nice, 2600-style, color
animation effect on the balls.

Trackball control could be great but would limit the game to a small number
of users (and I haven't a 2600 trackball).
As I've explained in another message, you must not necessarily avoid all of
the balls, just minimize the number of hits.
