A fast-paced game in which you have 30 seconds to touch the maximum number of blue balls in each level. Advance levels to increase the difficulty and avoid all the obstacles. Each screen is accompanied by an intense soundtrack. Participate in the world ranking and become the best Battle Dots player. We have updated the reflex game with new game modes for any situation: - Relax Mode: No rush, no pressure. Enjoy the essence of Battle Dots without any time limit. Simply tap the blue dots and score points for as long as you want. - World Battle: The mode with which Battle Dots started in its first version. Two difficulty levels (Easy: without obstacles, Hard: with obstacles). You have 3 levels available with 4 screens of 30 seconds each. Add as many points as possible and get the first place in the online world ranking. - 2 players mode: Enjoy pure competition with head-to-head challenges. A mode to compete with anyone who dares on the same screen. The winner will be the first to touch 30 balls in your playing area. You will be able to select 4 different scenes and decide how many fights you will have to win to reach the victory. IMPROVEMENTS OF VERSION 1.1.0 The gameplay has been improved by enlarging the touch zone of each lit dot. Now you won't have to be so precise to touch the dots and you will be able to go faster in your battles against the timer. This translates into a great improvement by reducing frustration and increasing player satisfaction. With the new game modes we have worked on improving visual perception and attention. We are working on a game that is fun and improves qualities in players of all ages. If you have any suggestions do not hesitate to leave us a comment in the ratings and we will take it into account for future updates of Battle Dots. This is a game that will help you train your reflexes and synchronize your senses. Coordinate your sight with your hands and get the world record.
