LINES Instructions
Gameplay Game is played on 9x9 board of squares. Initially squares are empty. Game generates three balls with random colors (7 colors) and places them randomly onto board. Player can move the cursor (arrow keys or 2,6,8,4 keys) on top of the ball (ball is inside red frame) and click left phone key or number five to select the ball. Selected ball starts to jump up and down. Now player can select empty square and move the ball to there by pressing again left phone key or number five key. Ball is moved only if there is path of empty squares between selected ball and selected square. When player manages to align 5 or more same colored balls to vertical, horizontal or diagonal line (or lines), then these balls will be removed and game score is increased accordingly.
Scoring Score is calculated as follows: 2 points for each ball in disappearing line for first 5 ball. Extra point are given when player aligns more than 5 balls - additional score is calculated by squaring the number of exceeding balls and multiplying it by 3. So if player manages to align 5 same colored balls then score is increased by 10, but if player manages to align 6 balls, then score is increased by 62+113=15. Seven aligned balls will result 72+223=26, eight aligned balls results 43 points. Additional extra point are given when player manages to align more than 5 balls in more than one direction at the same time (vertical and horizontal lines of yellow balls on screenshot).
