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.
