Connect the dots. Fill the grid. Repeat. Link Dots is a calm, premium flow puzzle with 4000 hand-tuned levels — no procedural generation, no level downloads, no nagging ads. Just you, the board, and the satisfying click when every cell falls into place. Each board shows pairs of coloured dots. Drag from one dot to its twin without crossing your own lines, and cover every empty cell along the way. Gentle on the first few levels. Devious on the last few. WHAT'S INSIDE • 4000 levels across four difficulty packs — Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert. Hand-curated, each one solvable in exactly one way. • Daily challenge — a fresh puzzle every 24 hours. Solve it to build a streak. • Global leaderboard — race friends and strangers on every level. Best time wins. • Hint trails — when you're stuck, watch the path light up showing you how to connect a single pair. Use it as much or as little as you like. • Plays fully offline — every level, every hint, the daily challenge. Aeroplane mode is fine. • Cloud sync — sign in with Google or Apple and your progress follows you between phone and tablet. • Premium polish — gentle haptics, glassy glowing dots, no clutter, no "rate the app" pop-ups. WHY WE BUILT IT THIS WAY We hated puzzle games that interrupt every third level with a 30-second video ad, that lock the next pack behind a paywall, or that download new levels over flaky hotel Wi-Fi. Link Dots is what we wanted for ourselves: 4000 levels in the install, one optional rewarded ad if you'd like a free hint, and nothing else. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY The daily challenge unlocks at midnight in your time zone and stays solvable for the next 24 hours. Solve it to extend your streak. Miss a day and the streak resets — but the next puzzle is already waiting. COMPETE OR JUST CHILL Sign in with Google or Apple to compare your best times on every level with players around the world. Or skip sign-in entirely and play offline — the leaderboard is opt-in, never forced. DESIGNED TO BE FAIR No timers unless you opt in. No lives. No energy meter. No countdown to your next move. Take your time, undo as many moves as you want, and use hints whenever you feel stuck. LIGHTWEIGHT AND RESPECTFUL About 60 MB installed. Runs smoothly on five-year-old phones. We don't ask for your location, contacts, microphone, or camera. The full privacy policy at https://ackbiz.com/link-dots/privacy lists exactly what we collect — short answer: as little as possible, and never sold to anyone. THANK YOU Link Dots is built by a tiny indie team in Pune, India. If you enjoy it, please leave a review — every five-star rating helps us afford to keep building. If you don't, write to chetan@ackplus.com and tell us what to fix. Have fun. Don't take it too seriously. It's just dots.

Read full description

Dot Connect is a quiet line-puzzle game for whenever you need five calm minutes. Connect matching dots with one flowing line and fill the whole board. No timer counting down, no score chasing you, just a puzzle at your own pace, in a garden that changes with you. WHAT YOU'LL FIND • 26 cozy, comic and dreamy gardens, each with its own night. Pick one, or let it change as you play. • Four board styles: soft card, wooden tray, notebook and frosted glass. • A fresh Daily Zen puzzle every day, and a quiet journey that grows as you play. • Taller boards on tall phones, and a roomy layout on iPad. • Gentle music-box sounds, with separate volume sliders for music and effects. • Save any garden as your phone wallpaper. • Hints when you want them: use one anytime, or watch a short optional video for 10 more. • Colorblind-friendly marks, one tap away. • Optional cloud save: pick a name and a cute dot icon, copy your save code and bring your game to a new phone. Erase it any time in Settings. CALM BY DESIGN • No timer. No score. No pressure. • Nothing to sign up for: cloud save is anonymous, with no email and no account. • A small banner ad sits at the top of the Home and play screens. Videos are always optional. • Miss a day and the streak forgives it. Dot Connect isn't trying to be the biggest puzzle game, just a genuinely calm one.
