You lose a life when the ball falls past the bottom of the screen. The lives are in the form of extra balls. When you lose a life, you use one of the extra balls as a replacement for the one you just lost. Your current ball will appear as green/orange/red in the life display and will disappear once lost. The colour is dependent on how many balls you have left. All extra balls/lives will be grey.
