DotCraft

Connect. Create. Conquer. DotCraft is a shape-forming puzzle game where you drag between glowing dots to create connections, form geometric shapes, and solve increasingly challenging puzzles — all wrapped in a striking neon aesthetic. Draw lines between dots to form triangles, squares, and circles. Each level presents a unique objective: create specific shapes within a limited number of moves. Plan your connections carefully, master special dot types, and earn up to three stars on every level. HUNDREDS OF PUZZLES Progress through 200+ handcrafted levels across four tiers — Introduction, Strategy, Challenge, and Expert. Start with the fundamentals and work your way up to mind-bending puzzles that demand precision and planning. FIVE SPECIAL DOT TYPES Navigate fixed, moving, colored, blocked, and disappearing dots. Each type adds a new layer of strategy to every puzzle. STRATEGIC HINT SYSTEM Stuck on a tricky level? Use hints to reveal the next shape or the exact connection to draw. But use them wisely — hints are limited and using them costs points. COMPETE GLOBALLY Climb the Game Center leaderboards, unlock achievements, and compare your scores with players around the world. EARN STARS & REWARDS Master each level for a perfect three-star rating. Earn bonus hints through daily streaks, tier completions, and skilled play. DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE A colorblind-accessible mode ensures every player can enjoy the full experience. Haptic feedback and sound effects bring each connection to life. No ads. No pay-to-win. Just puzzles.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DotCraft at none against Genius Puzzles's 1. DotCraft also leads on ads (none vs shown). Genius Puzzles's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
