Lines 98: build five-ball chains on the grid
Lines 98 puts colored balls on a grid and lets you move each one through open cells in straight lines or diagonals. The goal is to build a chain of five or more matching colors, then clear space before new balls appear after your move. That shifting layout is the hook: every route opens one lane and closes another, so you have to read the board before you send a piece across it. One good detour can set up a long clear on the next turn.
It sits naturally with logic games because the best move is often the one that keeps a lane open for the next color. A ball can travel horizontally, vertically, or diagonally only through empty cells, so one misplaced piece can ruin a longer setup. Since new balls arrive after every turn, you are always juggling immediate clears against future space. You can play free online in your browser, with no download or signup, and it works on mobile and desktop.
For another board-clearing challenge, Connect the Balls feels close because it also turns linking into a grid puzzle. Bubble Spirit is a good match too, since its marble-style play is built around matching lines. If you want a different take on color scanning, Bead Mosaic Crush asks you to spot patterns quickly on a compact board. The better you manage empty spaces, the longer your streak lasts.
