Match Lines
Read full descriptionHide full description
Match Lines is a puzzle game in which you have to align symbols to make them disappear. The aim of the game is to collect all the electronic components to repair your graphics card, which has overheated. So at the start of the game, the symbols displayed will be pixelated, but as you progress, they will return to their optimum display quality. To align at least 3 symbols, you need to move the lines horizontally or vertically. Symbols that leave the grid automatically return to the other side. It may seem simple at first glance, but be careful, because unwanted alignments can occur if you're not careful. In this way, symbols can be found alone or in pairs and can therefore no longer be aligned. What's more, once the symbols are aligned, they disappear and the remaining symbols are subject to gravity, sinking to fill the empty spaces in the grid. A level is successfully completed when you have eliminated all the symbols on the grid. Complete all the levels to discover fantastic new worlds. Play the mini-games to win more gold coins.
