The rules are fairly simple. You have to get 5 or more balls of the same colour in a horizontal or diagonal line. Each time you don't complete a line, 3 more balls get added to the grid until there is no space left. You can see what the next balls will be in the bottom left, if 'Show Next Balls' is switched on in the preferences.
To move a ball, tap on it and then when it's flashing tap where you want it to go - if it makes a sound and/or doesn't move it means there is no path to go by.
You can change the size of the grid by odd numbers from 7 to 15 square with the higher numbers being easiest. You can also change the number of colours from 5 to 9 with the lower numbers being easier.
The simplest game is a 15 * 15 grid with 5 colours, the hardest (and quickest) being 7 * 7 with 9 colours.
The highest score of every combination is retained.
Notes
-----
This game has the same gameplay as our other game, lines, available on our website. The only difference between the two is that this has much better graphics but consumes more memory. If you are on an older device with less memory or have a lot of files, the saving may be worth it.
This game has only been tested on the compaq iPaq and although there is no reason it wouldn't work on any other pocketPC I would be interested in hearing reports of its performance on other brands.
If you like/dislike or find anything wrong with this software, please take the time to email me at linesfg@alienrat.com
Localisation
------------
The game has been localised in English, American, German, French & Spanish.
Although the English and French versions should be ok, the German translation was done through an on-line translator, so it may not be so good!
If you could provide localisation in another language or corrections to an existing language I would be interested in hearing from you.
I tried translating it to Russian too (my last game had a lot of Russian downloads) but I couldn't get the tools to accept the Russian characters and as I have an English pocketPC I couldn't tell if the strings that were displayed would translate to something useful on a Russian system. Maybe there is a Russian programmer out there who can help with this.
