Every signal arrives with a warning. Lines Ahead is a turn-based strategy puzzle where incoming pieces appear on the grid before they spawn. You have the information. Now find the path, build the line, and keep the grid alive. PLAN EVERY MOVE Move luminous signals through connected empty cells. Match five or more signals of the same type horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to clear them. A move that clears no line brings the visible incoming signals onto the board, so every decision changes what comes next. CONVERT SIGNAL TYPES Use Signal Fusion to convert two different signal types into another. Fuse two adjacent lines, each containing three matching signals of a different type. Choose which line remains and redirect the other into it. A well-timed Fusion can open space or complete a line immediately. MASTER QUANTUM Clearing signals charges your Quantum Tool. Use Purge, Warp, Retune, Stabilize, Discharge, Tunnel, Pulse, or Lance to reshape a difficult board without advancing the incoming wave. CROSS ENTANGLED WORLDS Play one endless run across two connected worlds. Form lines of five in the home world to charge an automatic Jump. In the parallel world, swap adjacent signals to match three or more and trigger gravity-driven cascades. Build return resonance, then travel back automatically and clear space on your home board. Both worlds share one score.
