About

In "Inline," players arrange random shapes on a grid to form unbroken lines, which are then cleared for points. As the game progresses, shapes become larger and more difficult to position. Customization options are available, including starting level, maximum difficulty, skip accumulation, grid size, and shape frequency. Clearing multiple lines at once grants bonus points and recharges skips faster, encouraging strategic planning.
