Play this relaxing cat-themed Lines game: select a ball and move it to make a line.

Rules

In this cozy cat arcade browser game, make lines of 5 or more matching balls horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Each valid move adds 3 new balls. Exactly 5 gives 5 points; longer lines score by length while your cat companion cheers you on.

A cozy way to play Lines

Lines — sometimes known as Color Lines or Ball Lines — is a relaxing puzzle game where you slide colorful balls across the board to create lines of five or more matching colors. Every line you clear helps your cat companion stay happy, and makes a little more room to breathe on a board that keeps filling up.

Keep your cat fed

Your cat companion feeds on the balls you clear, so its hunger meter slowly drops the longer you go without completing a line. If the meter hits zero, you lose 2 points — and keep losing 2 more points every move after that, until you feed your cat again by clearing a line. Keep an eye on the meter and don't let your cat go hungry for too long!

Challenges: play your way to a higher score

Three challenge levels appear on the side of the board, and you pick which ones to take on. They're built for players who want to score more and faster: the harder the challenge, the more points it's worth. Choose the pace that suits you, from a relaxed line or two to a full run at all three.

A few tips from your cat

Frequently asked questions

How do I score points in Lines?

Create lines of five or more matching balls horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. A line of exactly five gives 5 points, and longer lines score even more. Completing challenges is another way to score.

Can I undo a move?

Yes. Use Undo to return to the previous board position. You can undo only one move.

Is Lines free to play?

Yes. Lines is free to play directly in your browser, with no download or account required.

How many new balls appear after each move?

Three new balls appear on the board after every move that doesn't clear a line — so plan ahead before the board fills up.

What happens if my cat's hunger meter reaches zero?

You lose 2 points, and lose 2 more with every move after that until you clear a line and feed your cat again.

What are the challenges on the side of the board?

They're three optional difficulty levels you can pick from at any time. Harder challenges are worth more points, so you can choose exactly how much of a scoring boost you want to go for.

Is this the same game as Color Lines or Lines 98?

Yes — Lines follows the same classic five-in-a-row rules as the well-known Color Lines and Lines 98 puzzle games, with our own cozy cat twist.
