## Description

In a world where colours refuse to line up… one puzzle game dared to ask: what if there were 64 of you?

Lines 98 is the classic Color Lines you lost a whole school year to: a 9×9 board, seven colours, and three new balls falling in every time you make a move that clears nothing. Line up five or more in a row, column or diagonal and they vanish. Fill the board and it's over. That's it. That's the game. It has been the game since 1998.

Except now it's personal.
Solo
- Beat the King. Become the King. The King is 100 points until you embarrass him.
- Undo, hints, a top-ten Records table and lifetime stats, so you can prove you were good once.
- Daily board: everyone gets the same board each day. No excuses. Keep the streak alive.

Shared board (2–8 players)
- One board, one score, everyone's fault.
- Free play or Take turns with a 30-second clock. Friends can drop in mid-round.
- No friends online? Practice together with 1–3 bot teammates. They don't judge. Much.

Last one standing (up to 64 players)
- Everyone gets the same starting board. Only one walks away.
- Every line you clear lands on someone else's board as incoming balls.
- Target Random, Near KO, Badges or your Attackers. Collect KO badges for stronger attacks.
- Fill the gaps with Normal or Strong bots, pick a Standard or Quick turn clock, or practise offline against 63 bots who have never slept.

Also included
- 200 achievements. Some players just can't handle that many balls.
- Full keyboard and controller support with rebindable keys.
- Colourblind symbols, high contrast, reduced motion and UI scaling.
- An original synthwave battle soundtrack, which is more than 1998 ever gave you.

Lines 98. Ninety-eight years in the making. …It's a puzzle game.
