DRCoderz' version of the classic dots-and-boxes, connect-the-dots, paper-and-pencil game comes to live with this great hand drawn theme, bringing back memories to those who used to play it with their friends at school during downtime. Same features as the real connect-the-dots game but with touch capabilities. Take turns with your opponent (a second human player or the machine) by tapping on the two dots that will form the line, with the goal of filling a square. The one with more squares filled, wins the round. Features: -Realistic-looking theme, with hand drawn lines and dots over a piece of paper; squares are drawn by a pencil animation -Pick your favorite color from 4 choices available -Play against the machine (Single-Player mode) or against another human (Two-Player mode) -Three field sizes (Small, Medium, Large) -Three difficulty levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) -Automatic game save after closing the application -Restart game at any point -Option of muting pencil sounds

Place pieces, match colors, clear the board. No ads, no timers, no interruptions. The rules take a minute to learn. Getting good takes a while longer. Every piece is two colored cells. Drop it where the colors line up, build chains, and watch entire rows cascade away. Climb levels and new colors unlock, until reading the board becomes the real puzzle. WHAT'S INSIDE - Level progression with new colors unlocking all the way to level 200 - Infinite mode: unlimited moves, no pressure, just place and clear - Shuffle: dealt a hand that fits nowhere? Redeal it and keep your run alive - Combos and match chains that pay you back in bonus moves - Vibrant or muted color palettes, whichever is easier on your eyes - Full dark mode - Plays offline, anywhere NO ADS. NO INTERRUPTIONS. No banners, no pop-ups, no countdown pressuring your next move. Open it, play a round, put it down. Great for a quick mental break, or for a longer sitting where you plan three moves ahead and make the board pay for it.
