"So Many Lines!" is the game that will have you saying, "so many lines!" In "So Many Lines!" you play as a circle, dodging lines that fly in from all directions. You must always keep moving because the longer you stand still, the more you risk growing in size (making it harder to dodge the onslaught of lines). As time passes, more and more lines will be able to appear simultaneously. Additionally, the lines will become faster and the amount of time you have to be stationary before growing decreases. Survive as long as you can and achieve your own record time! Good luck! "So Many Lines!" features: -A motion controlled player character (that is calibrated to where one's phone is at the start of each round) -Timer based scoring with high scores -Increasing difficulty -A great soundtrack -Randomized enemy line spawning and color -A skippable loading splash screen that is completely randomized in color and sequence each time the app is opened -Lots of fun!
