About

Dot Circuit

Features
Read full description

Dot Circuit is a colour-sorting puzzle game with a twist — your containers travel on a looping track, and you have to keep the circuit moving. Tap a stack to deploy a container onto the track. It rolls around the loop, collecting dots from the columns above. Match the colours, clear the columns, beat the level. Simple to learn. Surprisingly hard to master. How to play: Coloured dots hang in three columns above the track. Tap a container stack to send it on its way. When a container passes under a column, it collects the bottom dot if the colours match. Fill a container to clear those dots from the column. Clear all the columns to win. The challenge: The track only has so many slots. Send too many containers at once and the circuit jams — deadlock. Plan your deployment order, watch the colours, and keep things moving. Powerups: When things get tight, three powerups can save you: Bumper — ejects a container from the track instantly, freeing a slot Wildcard — matches any colour, no matter what's at the bottom of the column Bomb — clears all dots of one colour across every column at once Features: 30 levels across 2 chapters, with more on the way 6 colours introduced gradually as you progress Three powerups with distinct uses Clean, minimal design built for mobile No energy timers. No lives system. Play at your own pace.

FREE MAHJONG SOLITAIRE — THINK DEEPER, SCORE HIGHER Match tiles. Clear the board. Score more by going deeper. Free Mahjong Solitaire delivers the classic solo tile puzzle you love — with one extra layer of strategy. Every tile has a point value, and tiles buried deeper in the stack are worth more than surface tiles. The player who clears a path to the bottom doesn't just win — they dominate the IO counter. AUTHENTIC MAHJONG SOLITAIRE RULES A tile is only selectable when it is FREE — meaning: Ā· No tile is sitting on top of it (uncovered) Ā· At least two of its four sides (left, right, up, down) are open on the same layer Tap a blocked tile and it shakes — refused. No guessing, no accidents. Every pick is deliberate. DEPTH-BASED SCORING — THE RULE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING Every matching pair earns points. But tiles revealed from deeper in the stack score more than surface tiles. That single rule turns this into a puzzle of priorities: Ā· Grab the easy surface pair right now? Ā· Or clear a path toward the buried high-value tiles? Watch your IO climb — that question defines every board you play. HINT AND RESET — BUILT FOR PROGRESS Ā· HINT — Highlights a valid playable pair instantly. Use it before a blind guess kills your momentum. Ā· RESET — Redistributes tile symbols across all remaining board positions. Faces change, positions don't — new matches appear where the board felt dead. No timer. No move limit. No game over. Stuck? Reset. Keep going. ENDLESS LEVELS THAT SCALE WITH YOU Clear every tile → win the level → next board waiting. Layouts grow more complex and stacks grow taller as you progress. The game generates levels endlessly — there is always a harder board ahead. EVERYTHING THIS PUZZLE PLAYER WANTS Ā· Hint and Reset prevent dead ends without penalizing you Ā· No timer, no move limit — pure puzzle focus at your own pace Ā· Satisfying tile-clearing feedback on every successful match Ā· Perfect for short sessions or long relaxing play MADE FOR FANS OF Mahjong Epic Ā· Microsoft Mahjong Ā· Mahjong Classic Ā· Mahjong Solitaire Guru Ā· Shanghai Mahjong Ā· Mahjong Trails Ā· Mahjong Master Download free Mahjong Solitaire now — and see how high your IO can go.
