About game
Strategic thinking is the ultimate weapon when you are staring down a grid full of colorful spheres. Balls-Lines 98 forces you to map out every movement, turning a simple board into a complex web of logistical challenges. Your main objective is to align five identical color spheres in a row, whether vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, to clear them from the screen. Moving a piece requires a clear path, so you must carefully navigate around obstacles before the board fills up entirely. Every turn introduces new obstacles, making each session of Balls-Lines 98 progressively more intense as space vanishes. The real test is managing the board layout while anticipating where the next random shapes will drop.
