• Purple lines - These lines can be inserted into holes
• Green lines - When the player stretches these, Black Ball is flung extra high
• Orange lines - These lines disappear for a short amount of time, then become solid, infinitely repeating this
• Ghost lines - These lines cannot be interacted with by the player, but enemies walk on them
• Finish line - Black ball's primary target, which will end the level once it reaches the line

Interactive objectsEdit
