Color Lines is the classic puzzle you may remember as Lines: calm on the surface, calculating underneath. Balls of seven colours appear on a 9×9 board, and your job is to line up five or more of the same colour before the board fills.

A completed line disappears, scores and gives you room to breathe. If your move does not complete a line, three new balls drop in — and space runs short. The Next panel shows what is coming, so a good move is planned rather than guessed.

How to play

Move along free cells

Tap a ball, then tap an empty cell. It travels there only if a free path exists — balls move horizontally and vertically, never through each other.

Any direction counts

Five or more of one colour clear horizontally, vertically or along either diagonal. Several lines cleared in one move add up.

Undo one move

The undo button returns the board to the state before your last move after you watch an ad. It is single-use, and a record raised by the undone move rolls back with it.

Pick up where you left

Score, best result and statistics are saved, and an unfinished game can be resumed at any time — even on another device.

Scoring

The longer the line, the steeper the reward — nine balls are worth more than four times a bare five. Several lines cleared in one move add up.
