INTRODUCE Bigger Dot drops you into a vast living arena where cells grow, chase, and risk being swallowed. When your blob is larger than a rival, you can absorb them and keep climbing in size. Skillful movement is how you grow quickly—food and smaller cells ahead of you are opportunities, while careless wandering turns you into someone else's meal. Everything in front of you can become mass if you outsize it. To stay large for longer, eat steadily and avoid feeding careless pieces to bigger hunters. Join the seasonal community on the online leaderboard: register a display name, track peak score and rank, and keep pushing toward the top of each season table. HOW TO PLAY Rely on the control pad to steer your cells. Use M-pad to aim toward a point on the screen, or switch to C-pad for a floating stick—touch anywhere empty to place the stick at your finger, drag to steer, and lift to snap back to the default corner. On Mac and desktop, the same pads work with a pointer or trackpad, so you can keep one hand on movement while you glance at the minimap and rank strip. Hunt food and bots, absorb what you can overpower, and keep your mass safe. You can split into multiple pieces to move faster and catch prey more easily. You can also eject mass to hoard bait, open a path, or deceive other cells. When you eat an explosive splitter, you may break into several parts depending on your size—be careful if you are small, because a dangerous splitter can swallow you instead. Brown splitters grow from food around the map. Green splitters punish giants that gulp them without caution. Learn the rhythm of chase, escape, and regroup after every split. After a hard fight, pause briefly at the edge of the map, let distant pieces drift back together when the mode allows it, then re-enter the crowded centre only when you have a clear size advantage. GAME MODES • Classic — endless growth in an open arena • Time Attack — a three-minute score rush for a personal high score • Hardcore — after you split, parts never merge again • Bot Battle — spectate AI wars without controlling a human cell FEATURES • Simple default controls for touch and pointer, plus a pad toggle in the corner • Change the controller style anytime with the M-pad / C-pad switch • Customize outline, body color, and core shape so your cell is easy to spot in a busy field • Sign up, rename your character, browse season player lists, and sync scores to the online leaderboard when a connection is available • Session stats: peak score, splits, ejects, and rank snapshots • Eight languages with an in-game language picker • Built-in how-to-play guide based on real arena habits • Share highlights through your device's system share sheet when available • Full-screen canvas that fills phones, tablets, and Mac windows in portrait or landscape without letterboxing • Optional sound and music toggles remembered on the device TIPS FOR LONGER RUNS Stay near clusters of food while you are small, and only challenge another cell when you clearly outsize it. After you split, protect the largest piece first—losing the main mass often ends the run faster than losing a scout. Use ejected mass as bait near a green splitter only when you can escape the blast radius. In Time Attack, favour dense food lanes over long chases; in Hardcore, treat every split as permanent territory you must defend. CONTACT Please write if you want to share feedback with us.
