Pentalpha?
Pentalpha is more of a puzzle than a game. The rules are a bit arcane. The idea is to move the gold balls until they get to the intersections or the points of the stars (these points are marked by red dots). To move the balls, press your left mouse button over one of the balls and keep it pressed while you move the ball from place to place. Lift up when you complete your move.

No, it's not that easy. You have to move the gold ball over three points on the star (the red points). The first point must be unoccupied. The second point can be occupied or not. The last point (where the moving piece lands) must be unoccupied. All these points have to be next to each other and they have to be along a straight line. You may need to try a couple of times before you get it.

For example, let's say your first move is like this:
