Color Lines 98 — now with microbes

What’s inside
The 9×9 board — the real one
The canonical 9×9 lab glass. No phone-screen 7×7 compromises: the full classic grid.
7 microbe types
Instead of plain balls — seven colored microbes. Each with its own character and corner of the glass.
Petri dishes preview
Three Petri dishes show the next three microbes. Not a surprise — strategic information.
Embryos on the board
You see where new microbes will appear. Plan a full turn ahead.
16 achievements
From your first line to the wildest records. Full list integrated with Google Play Games.
Free, no in-app purchases
No in-app purchases and no registration. Ads are rare and unobtrusive.
How to play
Each turn you move one microbe to a free cell. If five or more microbes of the same color line up — horizontal, vertical or diagonal — they vanish and score points. After a turn without a cleared line, three new microbes appear. The game ends when the board is full. Full rules →
