Clear Lines is a classic strategy puzzle game where you move colored balls across a grid, line them up, and clear them to score points. Simple to learn, endlessly replayable. HOW TO PLAY Tap a ball to select it, then tap an empty cell to move it there. Balls travel along open horizontal and vertical paths — plan your routes carefully. Line up 5 or more same-colored balls in a row, column, or diagonal to clear them and score points. After each move, new balls appear on the board. The game ends when the grid fills up completely. TWO GAME MODES • Score Attack — Classic arcade survival. Start from zero and score as high as you can before the board fills. Clear longer lines for bonus points and aim for the top of the leaderboard. • Full Clear — A unique puzzle challenge. Every cell on the board starts inactive. Clear a ball on a cell to activate it. Win by activating every cell before the board fills up. Strategic planning is essential. DIFFICULTY FOR EVERYONE Choose from three presets — Relax, Standard, or Hard — or create your own custom difficulty by adjusting the number of colors (3–9), balls per turn (1–6), initial balls (1–20), and minimum line length (4–7). Pick between a classic 9×9 grid, a mobile-optimized 7×12 board, or set your own custom board size. IN-GAME CHALLENGES Three rotating challenges keep every game fresh. Clear long lines, score double clears, collect specific colors, and more. Each completed challenge awards 50 bonus points and contributes to lifetime achievement milestones. 40+ ACHIEVEMENTS Progress through four tiers of achievements — Novice, Pro, Expert, and Grit. From clearing your first line to completing 20 challenges in a single game, there's always something new to work toward. LEADERBOARDS Compete for the top spot across separate leaderboards for each game mode and difficulty level. Track your best scores and see how you stack up.
