Dot Race is the minimalist tapping game that's impossible to put down. Choose your dot - white or black — and tap as fast as you can. Every tap scatters all the dots across the screen. The chaos is the point. Reach 1,000 taps. Beat your best time. That's it. That's the game. Watch the arena come alive: As you hit milestones, new colored dots invade the screen - red at 50, green at 125, blue at 250, and more as you go. The closer you get to 1,000, the wilder it gets. Chase your personal best. Your fastest run is saved automatically. Every session is a race against yourself. Simple. Frantic. Addictive.
