About this game

Put 5 balls in a line to score. Diagonal lines also count.

This puzzle is also known as "Color lines", "Lines98", "Lines95", etc. I believe it's mechanics is a predecessor to the whole Match3 genre. It's one of those marble games everyone loved in the times of DOS and Windows95.

Rules

Build a line of at least 5 balls. Diagonals work. Every turn 3 balls appear if you did not burn a line this turn. The little balls show where the next 3 will appear.

5 balls - 5 points, each ball after 5 is more valuable by one, 6th - 2 points, 7th - 3 points, etc.

Difficulty levels:
Easy - 6 ball colors
Classic - 7 ball colors
Normal - 8 colors

Hardcore - 9 colors and no undo

Good luck in my take on Color Lines or Lines 98! It's a really challenging puzzle.
