Color Lines

Read full description

Here’s a take to the classic game in which you must line up at least five balls in a sequence. These are some random color balls in normal status, as well as three small ones that can be replaced by a large one when another color ball is dragged into. If you don't, the small color ball will grow into a large ball and take over the grid. The most addictive offline board game ever. Here, the player is challenged to keep the board empty by strategically removing lines of five balls of the same color. HOW TO PLAY COLOR LINES - BRAIN GAME The computer is throwing balls on the field against you. Your objective is to reorder the color balls to form a row of at least 5 color balls of the same color (row, column, cross). When 5 or perhaps more balls are lined up in a line, the entire line disappears, freeing up space. All the balls explode, and the grid is empty. Repeat as many times as you can to get a score. Note that, to go higher in the score, the longer the line has to be. Establish a long line of these balls. Lines can indeed be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. The lengthier the line, the more space is available and the more points you will obtain! But be aware that the computer keeps adding three new balls for each turn. The game is over in a flash, so don't end up wasting any of your moves! FEATURES OF THE COLOR LINES - BRAIN GAME Exciting gameplay Based on Classical Lines Game rules.
