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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Line Arcade at none against Tetris® Block Blast's 9. Line Arcade also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%). Tetris® Block Blast's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tetris® Block Blast holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tetris® Block Blast has 4.8K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Line Arcade's written reviews are positive against 50% of Tetris® Block Blast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Line Arcade ships an update every 2 months, Tetris® Block Blast weekly. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
