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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ball Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ball Connect has 4.8K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Line Arcade's written reviews are positive against 30% of Ball Connect'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, Ball Connect every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
