Line Arcade is a simple and addictive puzzle game. The game consists of a grid of size 9 x 9 squares. Balls of 6 different colors enter the grid three at a time. The player scores points by lining up 5 or more balls of the same color in horizontal, vertical or diagonal formations. Simply tap a ball and then tap the desired square where you wish to move it. The ball can move to a square only if there is an open path (i.e. combination of vertical and horizontal empty squares) from the source to the destination cell. When a formation of 5 or more balls of the same color is created, the entire formation is removed and no fresh balls enter the grid for that turn. Short, simple and addictive, Line Arcade promises loads of fun.
Classic Color Lines
A classic puzzle game where players arrange colored balls into lines of five or more to clear them from the board. The game continues until the board is full, challenging players to strategize their moves.
- 9x9 game board
- Seven different ball colors
- Line clearing mechanics
- Strategic ball movement
- Progressive difficulty

It is classic Color Lines. The game starts with a 9×9 board with three balls chosen out of seven different colours. If the player does form such lines of at least five balls of the same colour, the balls in those lines disappear, and he gains one turn, i.e. he can move another ball. If not, three new balls are added, and the game continues until the board is full.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Classic Color Lines at none against Line Arcade's shown. Classic Color Lines also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Line Arcade's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 23 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
