This is a truly remarkable game, similar to Atomica, Double Trouble and Bejeweled. In fact, it is quite possible that Lines is the true grandfather of them all.
As far as we know, the first version of the game, named Color Lines, was released by the Russian company Gamos somewhere in the middle nineties. They get all the credit for this splendid creation. There are some extras in this PalmOS version from Beiks, though...we, Piloteers always fly higher...and we take the pride for making the first PalmOS release and setting the tone for various other clones.
If you like this kind of games, you just cant go wrong with Pilot Lines. Sound effects, animations and - most of all - the terrific game play itself make it a must of every business or pleasure flight.
The rules: Game goes in turns. Each turn starts with three balls randomly occupying three free fields on the board and the the player can move ONE ball. Balls can move only in horizontal and vertical directions, not diagonals; they can also only move through unoccupied fields on the board, that is, they can not jump over other balls.
By arranging five or more balls next to each other in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal, you get all of them to be dismissed from the board and you gain points. You are also allowed to make another move before the turn ends.
The game goes until the whole board gets full.
