About

C

Features
Read full description

C-Line is an addictive puzzle game about connecting similar items. The player can move one ball per turn, and the player may only move a ball to a particular place if there is a path between the current position and the desired cell. The goal is to remove balls by forming horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines. New balls are coming pretty fast.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: C at none against Chess HD ∙'s shown. C also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Chess HD ∙'s advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 27 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
