iPhone App: 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.
