One dot changes everything. Beat all 50 bot rivals - each with its own face, personality and ELO - then take your skills online in real-time 1v1 ranked battles. Dotsplosion is the classic chain reaction strategy game, rebuilt: place dots, hit critical mass, and watch explosions convert your opponent's pieces in massive chain combos. BEAT ALL 50 BOT RIVALS Forget boring Easy/Medium/Hard. Dotsplosion gives you 50 unique bot characters across 5 tiers - from Poki, who clicks around randomly, to grandmaster-level rivals with deep tactics. Every bot has its own face, personality and play style: corner hunters, defensive walls, aggressive rushers, chain-combo masters. Beat them one by one and climb from ELO 100 to 2100. It plays like a boss ladder - and it works fully offline. REAL-TIME ONLINE PVP Battle players around the world in 1v1 online multiplayer matches. Quick matchmaking, private rooms with invite codes, turn timers (15s blitz, 30s, 45s) and rematch votes. Every ranked match moves your ELO rating - win to climb from Amateur to Master on the global leaderboard. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Pass-and-play local multiplayer on one device. The perfect 2 player game for settling who's really the smartest - no internet needed. HOW IT WORKS - Tap a cell to place a dot - each cell holds up to 3 - At critical mass the cell explodes in four directions - Explosions convert enemy dots to your color - Converted cells can explode too: chain reaction! - Take over the whole board to win Corners are safer, edges are strong, and one clever move can flip a losing board into total victory. That comeback moment is what makes chain reaction games so addictive. POWER-UPS AND DAILY SPIN Turn the tide with tactical power-ups and spin the daily wheel for free rewards. LEARN BY PLAYING A 30-second interactive tutorial with Sage, your teacher bot, gets you making chain explosions on your very first game. No walls of text.
