Read full description

The game starts with a 9×9 board with three balls chosen out of seven different colours. 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 (linked set of vertical and horizontal empty cells) between the current position of the ball and the desired destination. The goal is to remove balls by forming lines (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) of at least five balls of the same colour. 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.

"Classic Lines" is a fun logical game that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. By moving the balls on the board you form horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines of at least five balls of the same color. Once you formed a line, the balls in this line disappear and you earn some points. If you did not form a line, three new balls are added, and the game continues until the board is full. The goal of the game is to make optimal movements and earn maximum score. There are four difficulty levels: “Baby” - even baby can play it. “Beginner” - a relaxing game and an easy level for new players. “Professional” - an adventure on the game board experienced players. “Expert” - a true brainstorm for advanced players. Also there is a custom difficulty level where you manually adjust the board dimension, the color count and the line length. The game is designed for both phones and tablets and works in portrait screen orientation.
