iPhone App: Dots Free

Dots Free

= 3 stars

The pencil and paper game comes to the iPhone. Create as many squares as possible by connecting two dots with a straight line on each turn.

The Good

Easy gameplay. Just tap the space between two dots to draw a line in that location. Squares created appear in a different color than your opponent.
Options to set two human players or computers, and settings for sound effects and board size.

The Bad

The computer opponent doesn’t put up much of a challenge. Just avoid creating three sides of a square for as long as possible, and when you must, do so in an area where your opponent will win as few squares as possible.
Graphics and sound effects are nothing special. The doodle on paper aesthetic, seen in several other iPhone games, would have made a lot of sense here.

Conclusion

A decent, no frills implementation of the dots game. Dots Premium just removes the ads, so you may as well just stick with this free version.
