    A nice implementation of a classic game. There are so many levels and a low price, if you are interested you will be playing this for many hours. Be accurate with your mouse as mis-clicks (or “mis-drags”) will undo your work.

    TL;DR: good concept, bad developer who fcked it into this game :/ If android game is better than PC game, then PC game is not worth. Longer version: Good game (i mean, connecting dots, not THIS "Dots eXtreme" game). I used to play this game a lot on my phone/tablet like 4-5 years ago. I was expecting almost same game from this. But unfortunately, this is not that case. That android game was amazing, great animation, nice soundtrack, everything was smooth, options as well, and for phone game…

    Simple idea, simple tutorial, nicely implemented. Few games in, walk in the park. Then you had better put your thinking cap on. It ramps up pretty quick after that I'm pleased to say. Devious routes require a certain logical plan. Really enjoying it.

    I've had minor experience playing a game similar to Dots Extreme. Yet the challenge level for this game is high. I spent over an hour playing , trying to figure out level 3 on a 8x8 grid ( the easiest setting ). I didn't complete it. There are tokens you can earn to buy hints which proved to me level 3 was possible to beat. For those who love solving puzzles or just want a challenge this is a perfect game. I also enjoyed the music :) This game was free to me from a steamgifts giveaway.

    Dots eXtreme A mind blowing puzzle game which will set your brain's power to the maximum. 10/10. Pros about the game: +As I said above, it will blow your mind. +Really well made levels, it requires concentration in each one of the levels. +HARD! It is hard indeed, cause most of the times you will spent them trying to find a way to connect a dot without blocking the other. +You can complete tutorials to earn tokens to help you in the main levels. Cons about the game: -None. that's…

    This is a great little game - well designed, the graphics are well done and, most important, the re-routing works great.. no frustration with clunky controls. Excellent addition to any puzzle library.

    Dots eXtreme is a simple, minimalist mobile app-like pathing puzzle game where you must connect corresponding dots with lines... it's a mobile game that's been ripped off many, many times and this one is no exception. It also doesn't work on newer builds of Windows 10 and 11, the developers have not bothered to keep the game properly maintained and functional. The game hangs on launch and must be terminated through Windows Task Manager. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet…

    Cool puzzle concept that works well. I like that it's challenging. If you're looking for a good brain twister that's not casual, this is a good choice.

    It's a lot like the Android game called Flow, but with more mechanics. It's a fun puzzle game, and ever since Flow updated to no longer support my ancient phone, I've missed it dearly. But now there's Dots eXtreme, which not only fills the gap Flow left, but improves upon it with more mechanics, tons of puzzles, and unlockable Themes(I like the Nature one). There are many grid sizes and you can start on whichever you please, which is great. Music is okay, if a tad repetitive, but that's a minor…

    Fun puzzle game with 510 levels where you have to connect 2 points together. Starts with 8x8 boards and ends with 20x20 boards. My only complaint is that it is sometimes hard to tell apart similar shades of color, but that might just be my monitor/eyes.

    I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…

    It's fascinating, even as the realization dawns that to some extent the puzzles are like those in The Witness. As for gameplay, it seems there is more than one solution to many puzzles. So just because you have a guide with solutions doesn't mean those are the only solutions.

    Dots eXtreme is a casual strategy puzzle game where the player connects different matching color dots together in a particular path to fill each square of the grid. In Dots, the player has a set time limit to fill the grid and complete the puzzle in order to continue to the next stage. There are 60 challenges in each of the eight grids available. The size of the grids available range from 8x8 to 20x20. As the grid size increases the difficulty is increased. The player initially starts off on…

    One of the best puzzel games around! Everything is smooth and challenging. Music is good, graphics are smooth. Ten seconds to pick up and learn. Reminds me of playing some older windows 3.1 games back when games were made to last. Dots is simple to grab, and very hard to beat. It is one of the best mind games I have ever found. Similar thinking procces as chess, but in a much more eassier to grab design and less rules. Recomened from a friend and glad I found it. I'll be playing this at…

    Making the boards bigger just to fill it with connecting threads is just tedious. Knew this wasn`t for me when I saw it had 30 tutorial levels. Went for a nice walk instead.

    PROS 1: I have played a lot of dots and lines connect games, and this one by far has the most number of levels I have ever played. PROS 2: Bridges! It lets you cross connect lines, making the game play more interesting and challenging. PROS 3: The developers also didn't spam each level completion with a frivolous achievement and you'll need to play a lot of levels just to unlock one achievement. CONS 1: The graphics is very outdated, like the early flash games we had. Even the menu and UI…

    I played this type of puzzle game in the mobile phone and I always liked it. Without having a touchscreen makes the experience a little bit rougher but it's cool anyway.

    Alright little puzzle game. Need properly path all of the colors in order to complete the levels. If you're into simplistic 2D puzzles you might like this. Personally not for me.

    https://youtu.be/LMg_ZlIROXY This game has one singular focus of connecting color dots on a grid and does a competent job of offering it. Even with the minor mechanical progression offered it's a lot of a very niche experience.

    Super fun game where you "simply" connect points of the same color and shape without having any lines cross. If you've played Flow Free (and Flow Free Bridges), it's basically the same thing, but with bigger boards and slightly different mechanics (multiple-use bridges and tubes). One thing to note is that unlike similar games, in this game, bridges aren't strictly X-cross bridges, they can also be used to allow two lines to place corners on the same square (for example, one line coming in…

    Dots eXtreme its a very nice classic puzzle game. The formula is simple and the game mechanics even more, is to join the point A to the point B, of the same color, filling the whole checkered area of the game. Easier said than done, but it is a relaxing and fun game.

    Really enjoying this game. For the price I'm surprise at how many puzzles you get. I'm use to maybe 50 to 100 for this price. There are 480 regular puzzles and 30 tutorial rounds. The games range from obvious to complex and the time increases with the size of the board and the complexity. There's a windowed mode add you can choose which board size you want to play. You don't have to start at the small and work your way up. There are 60 levels for each board that you do have to work you…
