Dot Knot is one of those wonderfully meditative puzzle games that you can just sink into. The goal is to connect all the same-colored dots without crossing paths. It sounds simple, but once the grids get larger and the colors more numerous, it becomes a real spatial challenge.
The minimalist design and clean lines are very pleasing to the eye. It’s the perfect game for decompressing—there’s no ticking clock, so you can take your time to figure out the perfect path. It’s a great example of 'simple to learn, hard to master.'
Over 1,000 free levels to play
Clean, colorful minimalist graphics
Varying difficulty levels from Beginner to Master
Smooth touch interactions and sound effects
Always start by connecting the dots that are near the edges of the grid. This prevents you from 'trapping' other colors in the middle and makes it much easier to visualize the paths for the remaining center dots.
Tap and drag from one dot to another of the same color to create a path. Fill the entire board with paths without any two lines crossing to solve the puzzle.
The game provides a hint system that can show you the correct path for one color at a time.
I’m on my second go-round with this game and it’s fun to see my progress and compare my last score with my current after learning from more and more complicated knots. It’s amazingly compelling to solve these, it becomes more so when you’ve got a prior time score to beat! What would be really great is if you didn’t have to start at the end of the game on a daily basis (trying to remember where you left off the day before) to pick up again. First time through you’ll just land on the next puzzle. It needs a feature to select the puzzle number so you don’t have to scroll through pages. The only current alternative is to delete all your prior data to start from the very beginning, but then your scores go away (and the beginning puzzles are tediously simple to do again. I LOVE that there aren’t any ads, but it’s the simple complexity of the puzzles that is totally engaging, challenging and compelling! Great app!
For someone like me that tries a hundred times in a level, to get the best possible time, every second counts. I’ll re-do a single level for hours to reduce a second. So the bug/glitch I’m talking about is if you beat a level in under a second, your score will show up as 0. However, if you open that level again, it will reset as a new game, so whatever time you get upon re-opening the level with 0 seconds, will be your actual score. So I had to spend hours and hours trying to beat the levels again, to get my leaderboard back up. I was able to get 2/3 levels back to 0 seconds. If you beat a level with 1 second or more, your time is permanent, and doesn’t get deleted. Why do the developers punish the people who devote their lives to getting the best time on their game? I want my score to be put back to 0 seconds. That’s only fair, and you should fix the bug for the people who love the game enough to try and get the best time.
The point of each puzzle is to connect colored dots and fill in all the spaces with connecting lines. That’s it. No time limit, no character in peril, no competition (unless you really want to be on the leaderboard and practice each puzzle over and over). You can pause the timer on a puzzle and come back to it, so it’s great for entertainment when you’re waiting somewhere. You can “buy” a clue with in-game coins, and you get free coins when you check in each day and more if you watch an ad. For a very low price you can get an ad-free version. Remembering that you have to fill in all spaces as well as connect the dots can also be a clue, because sometimes a line connecting two dots can wind around other dots. One question for the developers, though: the game awards “diamonds” for sharing it. What are they for?
I just came across your game. I play this for a special and logic work out for the brain. Kind of like my visual tracking that I needed to go through after a stroke. But this game is much more fun. But this game is not easy. This game is a workout for your brain…visually, visual tracking visual logically, problem solving. I think any one from 8 to 108 will benefit in multiple brain ways when playing this little masterpiece. If you have a few minutes between meetings, while waiting for you child to come out of school, or wanting a relaxing brain teaser few minutes or a longer time frame. I’ve even played with my grandson where we are both trying to find the correct path together. Whenever we solve one, we both look at each other and say “just one more.”
It has a mix of easy levels and very difficult ones. There were a lot of ads and they did get annoying so I paid for ad free and I am so glad I did! It is worth it for how much I play (daily, right before bed to relax). On that note: the daily challenge for June 22, 2020 level 2 froze every time I solved it. I could not move on to level 3 of the daily challenge. I looked at the leaderboard to see how everyone else did but I got a “no data available” message for it. Could be a glitch? Other than that it has been a great game. Update (Aug 2020): 2100 levels and the game ended. Please consider creating more levels. I loved playing this game. It helped me relax but also made me think.
The game itself is really fun!! It’s genuinely challenging and compelling to play. It’s honestly so difficult, it prevents me from playing too much because I will inevitably get stuck and the forced break usually helps me solve the puzzle when I come back in a few hours. My only complaint is that the ad frequency is absolutely bonkers out of control. If it was an ad after every level, that’d be fine I guess. However, it’s not just that. You get ads in the middle of a level. Sometimes more than one. It’s intolerable. Since it was only $3-4 to pay once to get rid of them, I bit the bullet and paid to remove ads. Grumbled the whole time though. Never seen a game with THAT many ads. So, kind of annoying on that front but, fortunately, the game itself is enjoyable enough to justify the purchase. Alas.
I’m addicted to this game. I buy coins and even paid to get rid of the ads. I don’t play to be the fastest, just to get to the next level. I only use help after I’ve tried 20+ possibilities. It’s very satisfying to beat a level especially when I do it on my own. I like that the higher the level the more complex the puzzles become but yet a few less complicated ones are thrown in. With this said, It cost 250 coins for help. That’s fine but it’d be better if we could earn more than 100 coins for finishing a stage or even earn extra coins when completing the daily challenges. You could give 100 coins per puzzle but deduct coins if help is given. Overall, this is one of my favorite games to play and would give 5 ⭐️’s if we were rewarded with more coins.
It’s a nice game for the iPad. But the touch response is too laggy. And there are too many ads, including ad breaks when you’ve just started a game. And many of these ads crash the app, leaving a blank black, or occasionally blank white screen, necessitating an app close and reset, losing any progress you’ve made. I doubt I can play for more than 10 minutes typically before a crash. Cannot recommend unless you like frustration. Edit: The developers suggested sending them screenshots to identify what they called “bad ads” after crashes. Which is absurd, because pictures of blank screens won’t help them. (They can’t have read what I wrote properly.) I have now switched to Flow Free, which runs much smoother, and where ads NEVER crash the app. It all makes me think the Dot Knot app itself is what’s causing the crashes. Uninstalling.
