A remake of the game "Color Lines" with a classic interface but using modern technologies. Game rules: The game is played on a 9ร—9 celled board where differently colored balls will appear. Your goal is to get the highest score before the board is filled. You earn points by making a line of 5 or more same colored balls either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The longer the line โ€” the more points you'll get. Each turn three balls appear in random cells of the game field, except on turns where you made a line of 5 or more same colored balls. In this case, the line of balls disappears. To move a ball you need to tap it then tap an empty cell. The ball can't be moved if its path is blocked by other balls. Balls can only move horizontally and vertically. Once the field is filled with balls the game ends. You can also get bonus points if you disable the next colors hint (on the top) in the Settings menu.

An addictive puzzle game in the style of Tetris in which blocks of jewels fall from the sky that you have to collect to make them disappear. As the game progresses, it is increasingly difficult to collect jewel blocks because they fall faster from the sky. Classic and retro game style. You will not be able to stop playing! This game is very addictive and challenges you to beat your best score.
