Magic Lines
Description
Magic Lines is a single player, mouse controlled, tile matching game that is part of Agentix Software's Magic Games Collection. It is also available as a stand alone game and in some compilations, for example Card & Board Games Deluxe Suite 2.
The game is played on a fixed 9x9 square grid upon which a few coloured balls are randomly placed. The object of the game is to assemble these balls in lines of five or more, the matched balls then disappear, points are scored, and the game continues. However each time the player moves a ball some new, baby balls appear on the grid. While they are small they can be squashed by a bigger ball but after two moves they are fully grown and have to be found a home.
The game configuration options include using textured or coloured balls, 2D or 3D balls, and toggling the game's hint mode on/off. The game has a save-game feature a high score table and a built in MIDI player.
