Is Connect The Dots worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Casual puzzle players who want short grid-based challenges
- Logic fans who enjoy planning routes around blocking lines
- Puzzle creators who want to build and exchange custom boards
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking narrative, character progression, or action beyond arranging colored paths
- Players who want changing gameplay systems rather than repeated connect-the-dots boards
- Players who become stuck when lines of different colors intersect, since that collision removes the connection
- Players looking for boards larger than the included 10x10 levels without creating them in the editor
Our take on Connect The Dots
The bounce point arrives when a planned route crosses a differently colored line: that connection is lost, forcing the board to be reconsidered. Players who find the standard grids too small may reach another limit at 10x10, unless they use the editor to create larger boards.
What is Connect The Dots?
Solve logic puzzles by linking dots of matching colors.
A line connection disappears when it crosses a line of another color, requiring paths to be planned around existing routes. The puzzle set includes more than 500 levels across six difficulty settings, ranging from 5x5 boards to 10x10 boards. Hints provide assistance during play. The level editor supports custom boards up to 12x12 and lets players modify existing levels, then share them through import and export. Day and night display modes, musical-instrument sound effects, and minimalist visuals are also included.
