Two Dots review

Two Dots is the most design-led game on the list and carries an Editors' Choice badge on the US App Store. The core rule is simple: connect dots of the same color in a line, or close a square to clear every dot of that color. Playdots lists more than 5,000 levels and 5 distinct modes, including the Arcade, Flip mode, Treasure Hunt and Rewind, which replays classic events. Its Scavenger Hunt events add detailed hidden-object maps on top of the dot puzzles, which gives it more variety than most color matchers. Like Royal Match, it earns money from moves, lives and power-ups, with purchases from $0.99 for a power-up and $1.99 for the smallest currency pack. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple silicon Macs and Apple Vision Pro. It sits mid-table because hard levels push you toward paid extras and the download is large. We compared documented features and published prices.
