Tiny Dotz is an interesting simple entertainment puzzle game. How to play: 1) The initial game page consists of 2 Dots joined together : 1 RED and another BLUE. 2) Tap on the screen to start the game. 3) You can change the angle of the joined dots by tapping anywhere on the screen. 4) As time progresses, several colorful balls will appear from bottom and top of the screen, towards the centre. 5) You have to quickly identify the color of moving balls, and have to collect them with corresponding Dot at the centre. 6) For example, you have to collect the Red Balls with Red Dot at the centre by facing the Red Dot towards Red Ball (and Blue Balls with Blue Dot). 7) The quicker you respond, the more will be the chance to reach high score. Play and score your maximum... :)
