It’s hard to put it down.... The game is mesmerizing….

My favorite games are the simplest and most elegant … and DodgeDot™ tops the list” “I’ve been playing DodgeDot™ for over 3 years and still enjoy it as much as I did then. If people would only try it, they would be pleasantly surprised why it’s such a great game that’s hard to put down” “This is truly one of the few games I absolutely cannot bring myself to delete, no matter how low I become on memory. This is a definite must buy!!!” “This is great for all ages (at age 63, I should know) and the video instructions are beautifully done. …worth way more than you’re payin’. As a retired teacher, I view this as a fantastic opportunity to both develop... and retain thinking skills. These folks put a lot of thought into development and execution! Don’t pass it up!” “This game has all the makings of a timeless classic. I find myself always coming back to DodgeDot™.” "Soooooooo Addicting. Seems easy till it blows your mind and you throw your iPod/iPhone at the ground. Either way great game I simply can't stop playing. " "Excellent game. Entire family from 3 to 83 loves it" "This may be the winner on my list of 'Most addictive games for the iPad.' My daughter is addicted, I'm addicted and my mother is addicted! Love it, love it love it" "Deceivingly simple at first, and gets challenging pretty soon. Reminds me of Tetris."
