## What is Dotball?

Four ways to play one beautifully simple strategy game. Face the AI, share your phone with a friend, challenge someone online, or take on today's puzzle.

The rules take one match to learn. Draw a line between two dots. Bounce off any line already drawn and keep going. Force the ball into your opponent's goal — or trap them with nowhere left to move. That's the whole game. No luck, no dice, no clutter.

SINGLE PLAYER

• Three AI difficulties — Easy, Medium and Hard
• A genuine strategic opponent, not a pushover
• Hints when you want them, Undo when you need them
• Works completely offline

TWO PLAYERS, ONE PHONE

• Hand the phone back and forth — no second device needed
• Perfect for a commute, a café or a waiting room
• Works completely offline

ONLINE WITH A FRIEND

• Share an invite code and play 1v1 in real time
• Anonymous and instant: no signup, no account, no email

DAILY CHALLENGE

• One puzzle a day, the same board for every player
• Join a match already in progress, finish it in as few moves as you can
• The fewest possible stays hidden until you solve it
• Share your result without spoiling it, and keep a streak going

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT

• Pure strategy — matches are decided by your decisions, not dice
• Quick rounds that fit a coffee break or a train ride
• Clean, focused design with smooth, tactile animations
• Full dark mode, and it respects Reduce Motion
• Free, ad-supported and honest — no subscriptions, no paywalls

Know Paper Soccer from school? This is that game, done properly.

Pick a difficulty, pass the phone, or send a friend a code — your first match starts in seconds.
