Ease on past the break to read more than on Extreme Lines.

Game Layout

Extreme Lines main menu volition send yous into the game, accept you to the game options (audio and music settings), brandish the games scoring leaderboard, and send y'all to the game's instructions.

Extreme Lines Menu

When you start the game, you accept to cull what game way and fashion you'd like to tackle. Extreme Lines has two game plays or styles. Extreme play has special items that will assistance yous forth the manner. With the Classic play, you lot're on your own with no special items available to help you out.

The Game Modes dictate the games objective. The Line Fashion requires you to line upwards five balls of the same color. They explode and you lot earn points. The Square Mode requires you to organize balls of the same colour in a square. Create the foursquare, the balls explode and you lot earn points.

Colored balls are generated after each motility that doesn't create an explosion. The assurance are generated small and while they are minor, you can move a big ball into that detail square or y'all can motion past the square with the minor ball. Afterward the next movement, the balls grow to full size and volition block your motility.

The game screen layout is elementary. Up top yous have your score and the side by side three balls that will appear on the game lath. The game board is a 9x9 square filigree and only below that, is an Undo Button (do-over) and a Menu Push button.

Move is simple. Tap on the ball you lot want moved and it encircled by a ring of fire. Then tap on the square you want the ball moved to and if the path is clear, the ball slides on over.

Game Play

Game play went smooth with no bugs, glitches or crashes experienced. Every now and then a brawl was stubborn and information technology took two taps to get things going.

Extreme Lines Game Screens

When the game begins and you take plenty of elbow room on the game lath, your moves don't have to be as calculated. However, when things begin to go tight you really demand to think each movement out carefully. You'll run into the next three balls that volition come into play but you don't know where they'll land.

In playing both Lines and Squares, equally well as Classic and Extreme, it'south hard to say which game version I liked the all-time. Squares is a little easier in that you lot only have to line upwards four assurance. But with Lines, you can form your v ball line vertically or horizontally. The Special Items assistance merely if you lot think things through, you tin exist just every bit successful without them in the Classic play.

Overall Impression

There is a slight addictive quality to Extreme Lines that seems to build the more you lot play. Simply put, Extreme Lines will grow on you.

The 2 game plays and two game modes gives the game enough of variety and helps it from becoming dried. The puzzle aspect of moving and organizing the colored balls offers a healthy challenge. The Undo Button gives the game only plenty forgiveness so it doesn't get too like shooting fish in a barrel.

If y'all like puzzle games, Extreme Lines is worth considering. There is a free trial that limits you to the Archetype Play and the full version will run you $.99. Both can be institute hither (opens Zune) at the Market.

Update: A free, ad-supported version of Extreme Lines has hitting the Marketplace. It has the same game modes as the paid version and has an ad imprint that pops up at the bottom of the screen. You can find the free version here at the Marketplace.
