## What is Color Lines 98?

Remember Line 98, the ball puzzle classic from the 90s PC era? Color Lines brings the timeless Lines 98 formula back: move a ball, line up 5 of the same color, and keep the board from filling up.

Three new balls drop after every move. Match 5 or more in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — and the line clears while your score grows. Easy to learn, endlessly replayable: every move is a little puzzle of paths and priorities.

With Color Lines you can:

- Play the classic Line 98 setup — a 9x9 board with 7 ball colors, just like the original
- See which balls come next and plan around them, or hide the preview for a harder game
- Play offline, with no account and no sign-up — your game is saved automatically
- Chase a personal best for every board setup you play
- Use colorblind-friendly colors and shape overlays that make every ball easy to tell apart

Why players pick Color Lines:

- Classic Lines 98 style — the rules you remember, with clean modern visuals
- One more game takes a minute; mastering the board takes years
- Calm, focused play — no timers, no lives, no pressure
- Light and fast — works without an internet connection

Want a bigger challenge? The one-time premium upgrade removes ads forever and unlocks board sizes from 5x5 to 12x12 with 3 to 7 ball colors. Pay once, keep it forever — no subscription.

Color Lines is the classic Line 98 / Lines 98 color ball puzzle: match 5 in a row, clear the board, beat your best score.
