Dothaus is a minimalist simple iOS game inspired by Bauhaus art and design. At the base of the game there is a trying to keep together a simple and intuitive single tap game mechanic and the strong artistic influence of the Bauhaus shapes and the "less is more" Apple concept. To play Dothaus (Dot) you only need to Tap to move the dotplayer along his path but pay attention to the moving shapes. You will meet snakes of characters, triangles, strange shapes and the levels are all random built so there will be no equal levels around world but similar. Try to measure your reflexes: Based on a small statistic, only 3% will manage to pass level 100, take a look on the leaderboard to see your position in the world. Where to play Dot: Metro Bed WC ;-) Sofa At work At home On the beach Mountain Street Everywhere is a good place to play Dot but be careful, it’s very addictive game. I hope you enjoy it and remember avoid from the other shapes
