About

dot5

Read full description

dot5 is a beautifully minimal strategy game about one simple, timeless idea: be the first to connect five dots in a row. Take turns placing your dots on the grid — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Every move is a tiny decision that quietly builds into a winning line, or blocks your opponent’s. Win a round to score a point. Score five points to win the match. Built from the ground up for iPhone with native SwiftUI, dot5 is designed for the way you actually play: one-handed on the commute, in a waiting room, or between tasks. Fast to open, calm to play, easy to put down. WHY YOU’LL LIKE IT • Easy to learn, endlessly replayable Five minutes to understand the rules. Years to master the lines you don’t see. • A thinking AI that actually thinks A Core ML powered opponent with three difficulty levels — Easy, Medium, Hard. The AI runs entirely on device. No servers. No latency. No data leaves your phone. • Your choice of tempo Play untimed, or add a per-move timer (10s / 20s / 30s) to turn calm strategy into fast, nerve-tightening duels. • Match format, not just single games Every round is worth one point. First to five points wins the match. The format rewards both short tactical bursts and long-game consistency. • Statistics that matter Track matches played, matches completed, wins and losses per difficulty, and your recent history, all stored locally on your device. • Built-in interactive tutorial A friendly step-by-step onboarding teaches the grid, the goal, how dots connect, how the timer works, and how the AI plays. • Modern Apple design Clean typography. Native haptics. Light and dark mode. Full Dynamic Type and accessibility support. No clutter, no pop-ups, no paywalls mid-game. • Available in 16 languages English, Italian, French, German, Spanish (Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia), Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal), Turkish, Greek, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and more.
