Arcade Lines is a game that is available under other names, but this version adds a few little extras into the mix.
The game is played on a 9 x 9 board, and begins with several different coloured balls placed on the board at random. The aim is to move these balls around to create lines (vertically, horizontally or diagonally) of 5 or more.
Do this and the balls are removed from the board. Each move that doesn't create a valid row results in another three balls being placed on the board.
This version adds special playing pieces that appear at random, which are either a help or hindrance. Dynamite clears the surrounding squares of balls while the fan blows all your balls into disarray, for example.
