Game Pieces in Arcade Lines

Multi-Colored Pieces

These game pieces fit in every row which contains one of its two colors, e.g. the green and yellow colored stone will fit in green rows as well as in yellow rows. These game pieces count towards your score just as normal pieces would.

Joker

The joker fits into every row just as if it had the same color as the other pieces in the row. It counts to your score just as normal pieces would. You cannot build a row of jokers only.

Fan

The fan is the only game piece that cannot be moved. You can combine it with any other color, but beware: since the fan will blow other balls away, it is not easy to get rid of. This piece is available in the full version of Arcade Lines only.

Dynamite Bar

Just like the Joker, it can be used as any color to build a row. However, when it is dissolved, it blows up all balls on the board that have the same color as the last dissolved row! You only get the score for the row you dissolved, but the dynamite bar is still great when the board gets stuffed.

Paint Bucket

Dissolving a row which contains a paint bucket will give all adjacent game pieces a same - randomly chosen - color. Usually this is a great tool for scoring lots of combos. This piece is available in the full version of Arcade Lines only.

Multipliers

Dissolving Multipliers will multiply the score for this move by the factor displayed. For example, if you remove a line with 5 game pieces and one of them is a '6x'-Multiplier you will score 6x3=18 points! Don't waste more than one Multiplier for one row though - It will not increase your score any further. This piece is available in the full version of Arcade Lines only.

Hourglass

The Hourglass occurs in the time-based mode only. It behaves exactly like a regular joker except that it extends your time by 15 seconds when being dissolved. This piece is available in the full version of Arcade Lines only.
