Line 98 and the five-ball clear race on a crowded grid
In Line 98, you move colored balls across open routes and try to line up five or more of the same color before the board locks up. It fits squarely among skills games, because every placement changes the next few turns and the clean grid makes each route easy to read.
Open paths decide every move
You can send a ball to any empty cell only when the route between the start and end spaces stays open, so space matters as much as color. A smart move can open new lanes for later, while a careless one can trap the board fast and leave you with no useful reply.
Five in a row clears the pressure
The main target is simple: build straight or angled lines of five matching balls to clear them and make room again. That makes this a true lines puzzle, and it pairs naturally with Lines 98 when you want the same route-checking, line-building rhythm.
Three new balls after every turn
Each move adds three random balls, so the board can shift even when you are just setting up a future clear. If you like reading color spreads and thinking about colors before you commit, the pressure in Connect the Balls will feel familiar.
That constant refill also makes balls management part of the puzzle, not just the match itself. You can play online with no download and no signup, and the touch controls work smoothly on mobile and desktop. For another careful placement challenge, BallCraze SortGame puts the same kind of attention on where each piece ends up, and it rewards matching choices that leave room for the next turn.
