f you get over 10000, you're pretty smart! If you score over 30000, you're a genius! More and more people get hooked! Nine Dots is a new kind of puzzle game that anyone can make chain easily. If you place nine dots, they disappear. If the number of dots exceeds 9, a disturbing dot will be created as much as the number of dots exceeds 9, and the block cannot be placed there. When the block disappears, the beam comes out at the same time. The beam removes the disturbing dots on other blocks. Chain is possible by arranging well. If you make a chain, you get a high score! The effect is so beautiful that I can't help but keep doing it. Key Features - Easy to understand game rules with only 9 dots - Strategic! If you want high score, you need high strategy. - Nice effect when you make a chain!
