Maddening and addictive!

A brilliant conversion from a little known type-in gem for the ZX Spectrum. Check out the thread on the Spectrum For Everyone Facebook group :-)

Just one more go!

Simply The Best

I have had an IPad since the IPad2, and have been through every type of genre of game there is, and this one has taken my breath away. I am still trying to get through all the levels throws at you.

The kangaroo (Dotty) is so cute, and amazingly drawn (In an 80s Spectrum kind of way)

Looking forward to more levels, and a level editor.

Still looking forward my Kempston Joystick, to play it in all its glory.

I have heard the gameplay can take many hours to get through the levels.

Thank you for bringing this classic the IOS, and even greater thanks to the original author.

Is there a Dotty 2 in the pipeline? Perhaps with up to date graphics? Hey, even the original with upto date graphics would be fun.

Download the game as soon as you can. It will bring a smile to your face.
