In an action card game's description, I found the following sentence:
In order to pummel your opponent, just line up characters across the
grid.
I am not sure about the meaning of the word "across" in this context. Which of the following meanings is relevant here:
prep.
- On, at, or from the other side of: across the street.
- So as to cross; through: drew lines across the paper.
- From one side of to the other: a bridge across a river.
- Into contact with: came across my old roommate.
adv.
1. From one side to the other: The footbridge swayed when I ran across.
2. On or to the opposite side: We came across by ferry.
3. Crosswise; crossed.
4. In such a manner as to be comprehensible, acceptable, or successful: put our idea across; get a message across.
adj. Being in a crossed position: seated with arms across.
This is somehow urgent. I would appreciate quick replies.

Let me venture a guess:
From one side to the other, in a single line.
That's what "across" would mean in pretty much any context.

Can it be replaced with "in" in this context? Can you suggest other alternatives?

Not quite. "In" would mean somewhere within the grid, but not NECESSARILY from side to side.

"On both sides"?

This is relevent to the sense 2 of preposition.
2. So as to cross;
through: drew lines
across the paper.
Your example sentence:
In order to pummel your opponent, just line up characters across the grid.
It means:
In order to pummel your opponent, just arrange the characters in a row from one side of the grid to the other.
