LINE 98

Lines 98 - classic game with balls, which appeared in the 90-ies of the last century (we can say at the end of the last century). "Balls-line" - a favorite class of many games found well-deserved popularity among players. In this game preserved the charm of the simplicity of the rules, but to enhance the impression the bulbs then replaced the fun, colorful spherical balls. Yellows and the blue, like Cyclops, one-eyed; have red, brown and gay on two eyes; Ah and green and pink with three eyes. The playing field is stylized as a garden: plowed beds and hedges. It, the largest For "lines 98", has a size of 9 by 9 cells. The task of the player: to arrange balls-koloboks on the field so that the same line up in horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines. Lining up in a line, five or more one-color koloboks burst and disappear, as if they were not at all. Disappeared, they liberate precious space — space-garden. Why it is precious, you will understand in the game, especially closer to its completion. The game can last a very long time, because there is no time limit. But there is a limit of space. As soon as the balls occupy all the cells of the field, the game ends. But how does this filling happen? The fact that each empty move is accompanied by the appearance of random (most importantly - free) three cells of the field-garden balls. An empty move is a move in which the player failed to remove any line. For each line removed the player receives points, and their number depends on the length of the line. For five spherical give the least number of points (200), for six — 400, well, for seven... However, in the scoring system, certain combinations are used, depending on the speed of the game. For example, if you remove 2 lines from five in a row in a short period of time, then you will get 400 points for the second line. Thus, a fast game is encouraged. However, the speed here can significantly harm, because playing fast, the player does not have time to calculate the optimal moves a few steps forward. It is worth noting one useful option. Before each move (rearrangement of the next Kolobok-ball) the player is shown the places and colors in which after this move there will be new balls. Any of these places you can take during this turn, if You are not profitable there is the appearance of the designated game ball. Then a new one will appear in any other free cell. This system allows you to conduct a more accurate analysis and calculate moves more accurately, with a margin. There is in rules and inconvenience, although precisely it causes an additional interest. Balls can move only on free squares of the garden. Moreover, the path from the current position to the destination, which indicates the player must also be free. Turn the balls only at right angles, so do not even try to assume that any of them decides to jump relatives diagonally. This feature you will see on the training mini-picture before the start of the game. Well friends, "Lines 98" lively, exciting and well (and most importantly useful!) eliminate the excess of your free time. We wish you a pleasant stay and more points!
