DOTS, connect the points

In a few days will be fulfilled one year since I downloaded a game called Dots at the recommendation of a friend. It is one of those apps that stand out for its minimalism, simplicity and beauty, which also contains a very entertaining complexity. 

After a year playing, it's definitely one of my favorite apps. In this post I would recommend it.

Getting Started with Dots

"In the end, everything is connected" - Charles Eames, architect, designer and filmmaker.

Dots is a game of collecting points of the same color. That's it. You do not have realistic graphics or complicated rules. Once you join all the points that you used to draw the line disappear, dropping circles located above and inputting new ones. 

In the tutorial they give you the key to ending the greatest number of points at a time. What you have to do is close the line with the geometric shape you want, from a square to an irregular shape. If you do, all points of the same color disappear even if not connected to your figure. 

Easy, right? Not so much 

In classic game mode you have only 60 seconds to eliminate as many points as possible. This limitation is precisely what makes it a perfect Dots addictive game for pecking between meals on our iPhone. If you take up this connectivity to social networks to sting you with your contacts, we have an explosive mixture.
