The LINE

The LINE is an endless avoidance scrolling game, where the end is near and unavoidable. You control an aptly named space-faring vessel through a lethal meteor storm, and that is pretty much it. Despite a small element of luck, the game rewards skillful button-smashing, with a high score as a reward.

About the Game

As the captain of the space-faring vessel called "The LINE", also known as the Long Intergalactic Nameless Entity, you face a dire situation. Your vessel is on the verge of breakdown, with several critical components failing. Steering is malfunctioning, resulting in jittery controls, and the course stabilization module is the only trustworthy unit. To top it off, your vessel has moved straight into the biggest meteor storm ever witnessed in this sector of space. The situation is bleak. Very bleak. But if the end comes, at least you will face it while giving it your best!

The controls are configurable, but the default setting is:

Steer left: A or Left Arrow Key

Steer right: D or Right Arrow Key

Stabilize ship: S or Down Arrow Key

Dodge the meteors for as long as possible, by adjusting your course to the left, to the right, or by stabilizing it. Your score increases the further you travel.

The storm intensifies as your score rises — more meteors appear the deeper you go.

An intensely baffling gravity field prevents your vessel from escaping the meteor storm, and if you hit a barrier of the gravity field, it will bounce you back. Use this to your advantage if you can.

Sometimes, using the course stabilization unit can be critical to recover the course ahead. The steering is otherwise bad, but you will have to work with it.

Compete for a high score on the global leaderboard, or challenge your friends to see who can survive the furthest.
