About

PoppinDot

Features
Read full description

Welcome to PoppinDot! This is a simple game of speed to test your reflexes and finger flexibility. A number of dots between 1 and 3 (or up to 10 if playing on an iPad) will appear, and your goal is to place a finger on each one. They only pop if every single dot has a finger touching it. See how fast you can complete a level! Each level varies something about the dots, whether it is the size, movement, or gravity in the environment. There is even a special level (Dotrithmetic) that will challenge your arithmetic skills. This game also has a leaderboard for each level (actually two since the iPhone and iPad leaderboards are kept separate), so you can compete with other players worldwide.
