It is classic Color Lines. The game starts with a 9×9 board with three balls chosen out of seven different colours. 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Linked Lines at 4.5 against Classic Color Lines's 4.0. Linked Lines also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). Classic Color Lines's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
