Ever tried to herd bouncing dots into tiny colored squares? It's harder than it sounds — and way more fun. Dots in the Trap is a physics puzzle game where you draw lines on the screen to redirect bouncing dots onto their matching colored mats. Hold a dot on its mat long enough and — pop! — both disappear. Clear the board before time runs out and you're onto the next stage. Sounds simple. Gets wild fast. THREE WAYS TO PLAY Classic — draw lines to match every dot to its mat however you like. Easy to jump into, hard to put down. Free to play, no purchase needed. Sequence — the mats have numbers on them. Match them in the right order or nothing happens. Sneaky. Barrier — moving lines bounce across the play field while you're trying to work. Rude, but fun. 150 STAGES One dot to start. Ten flying around by the end. Good luck. NO ADS. NOT NOW, NOT EVER. Classic mode is yours completely free. One small purchase unlocks Sequence and Barrier when you're ready for more. Game Center leaderboards for all three modes. Challenge yourself. Challenge your friends. See who gets furthest. Draw a line. Catch a dot. Try not to lose your mind. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

10 Dots Only

Read full description

10 Dots Only is a fast-paced tap survival game where the rule is simple: don’t let the screen fill with more than 10 dots. That’s it. Sounds easy? Think again. As dots multiply, your reflexes, timing, and decision-making are pushed to the limit. Different dot types bring different behaviors—some freeze, some poison, some teleport. And you’ll need every passive skill and upgrade to keep up. Features: - One Rule Gameplay: Never let the dots reach 10. - Dot Variety: Frozen, Poison, Golden, Teleporting, and more. - Passive Skills: Upgrade abilities like Magnet Pull, Chain Reaction, and Golden Luck. - Tournaments: Compete in recurring events to climb ranks and earn rewards. - Daily Quests: Complete missions to earn coins and blueprints. - Level-Based Progression: Unlock new dot types and skills as you level up. - Core Haptics & Sound FX: Feel every tap and explosion with satisfying feedback. Easy to pick up. Hard to master. Can you stay under 10?
