Read full description

Dot Connect is a quiet line-puzzle game for whenever you need five calm minutes. Connect matching dots with one flowing line and fill the whole board. No timer counting down, no score chasing you, just a puzzle at your own pace, in a garden that changes with you. WHAT YOU'LL FIND • 26 cozy, comic and dreamy gardens, each with its own night. Pick one, or let it change as you play. • Four board styles: soft card, wooden tray, notebook and frosted glass. • A fresh Daily Zen puzzle every day, and a quiet journey that grows as you play. • Taller boards on tall phones, and a roomy layout on iPad. • Gentle music-box sounds, with separate volume sliders for music and effects. • Save any garden as your phone wallpaper. • Hints when you want them: use one anytime, or watch a short optional video for 10 more. • Colorblind-friendly marks, one tap away. • Optional cloud save: pick a name and a cute dot icon, copy your save code and bring your game to a new phone. Erase it any time in Settings. CALM BY DESIGN • No timer. No score. No pressure. • Nothing to sign up for: cloud save is anonymous, with no email and no account. • A small banner ad sits at the top of the Home and play screens. Videos are always optional. • Miss a day and the streak forgives it. Dot Connect isn't trying to be the biggest puzzle game, just a genuinely calm one.
