Lineley is an innovative, fun and addictive line drawing game based on the rivalry of a green line versus a red line to save the fish trapped in bubbles. You draw a green line with your finger trying to touch all bubbles while avoiding the red line. The red line will do all it can to block your way so you can't save the fish. Once you figure out a way to avoid the red line and connect all bubbles with your green line the bubbles will pop releasing the fish to their freedom. If you want to experience the joy of Drawing, Connecting, Avoiding, Popping and Saving, all combined in an innovative puzzle theme, you are invited to play Lineley.
