Read full descriptionHide full description
One dot. A screen full of moving squares. How long can you survive? Keep the dot away from every square in Save The Dot!, a quick arcade game where every second counts. Start a round, find a gap and chase your best survival time. CLASSIC Play an endless survival round. Squares arrive faster as time passes, and new enemy patterns keep you moving. Your best time stays on your device. DAILY CHALLENGE Try a new challenge each UTC day. The same date uses the same arena and enemy sequence across devices. Practice your route and beat your daily record. MAKE IT YOURS Choose a dot color, turn sound on or off and pause whenever you need a break. Clear menus, a subtle arena grid and a bright outlined dot keep the action easy to follow. The app supports English and Danish. FREE PLAY AND SAVETHEDOT PRO Start up to three games per UTC day on each device, shared across all game modes. Violet and Ocean are included. The allowance resets at 00:00 UTC; replaying or restarting uses a game, while resuming a paused round does not. SaveTheDot Pro is an optional, permanent one-time in-app purchase. It removes the daily game limit and unlocks all five colors: Violet, Ocean, Sunset, Mint and Gold. There is no subscription. You can restore the purchase from the Pro screen using your Apple Account. Pro does not change the difficulty or reset your records. GAME CENTER Sign in when you choose to compare solo survival times and earn achievements. You can play solo without Game Center or an app account. Solo gameplay works offline; purchases, online rankings and delivered support messages require a connection. PLAY ON IPHONE AND IPAD Tap or drag to move the dot. Turn haptics on or off in Settings. Send feedback from Help & information, or report a bug with context from the pause and result screens. No account is required.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: The Dot at daily against Save The Dot!'s every 28 months. The Dot also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
