Connect Dots

Features
Read full description

A puzzle where you draw lines to connect dots of the same color on a board of hexagonal cells. HOW TO PLAY - Trace with your finger from dot to dot to draw a line - Connect every color to clear the stage - Fill every cell on the board as well to earn a star - Lines cannot cross each other or go through walls SWITCHES AND WALLS Later stages have switches that open and close walls when a line passes through them. Connecting one color opens a path; connecting another closes it. Working out which color to connect first is what makes this puzzle fun. OVER 100 STAGES Each world has 10 stages. Starting from small boards, it gets harder step by step with walls, mazes, big boards, switches, and boards with holes and unusual shapes. New worlds are added over time. Each stage you clear opens the next one. Try to collect a star on every stage. GREAT IF YOU - Want a quick brain workout in spare moments - Like connect-the-dots and line puzzles - Enjoy one-stroke drawing and logic puzzles Free to play (ads are shown between stages). No in-app purchases and no accounts. Plays offline, and your progress is saved on your device.
