DotsRush for iPhone and Android

Close a square and clear every dot of that color

DotsRush is a dot connection puzzle. Swipe through two or more dots of the same color and they drop off the grid. Bring the line back to where it started and every dot of that color on the board clears at once. Play against a 60-second clock, or switch to Unlimited Moves and take as long as you like.

Free on iPhone and Android. Contains ads and optional in-app purchases.

How to play

  1. 1

    Find a match

    Look for two or more dots of the same color lying side by side or one above the other.

  2. 2

    Swipe to link them

    Drag your finger through the dots in a line, up, down, left or right. Let go and the linked dots clear from the grid.

  3. 3

    Close a square

    Join the line back to its first dot to make a closed loop. Every dot of that color on the board clears and you earn bonus points.

What DotsRush does

Timed Mode
You get 60 seconds. Link fast to keep the combo meter alive, then see where your score lands on the global leaderboard.
Unlimited Moves
There is no clock in this mode. Plan each line, look for squares and play at your own pace.
Power-ups and boosters
Special items clear obstacles and extend your combos when a level gets tricky.
Endless levels
New levels keep coming, and each one is a little harder than the last.
Daily rewards
Open the game each day to claim free boosters and special items.
Offline play
The whole game runs without an internet connection, so it works on a plane, on the subway or anywhere else without Wi-Fi.

Why the square is the move to look for

A straight line clears only the dots your finger passed through. A closed loop clears every dot of that color on the whole board and pays bonus points on top. Before you take the first pair you see, check whether four dots of one color are close to forming a square.

Which mode to pick

Both modes use the same board and the same rules. The difference is the clock.

  • Timed Mode, when you have a minute to spare and a high score to beat
  • Unlimited Moves, when you would rather think a board through than race it

How it looks and sounds

DotsRush uses a minimalist, colorful board with smooth animations, haptic feedback and calm background audio.

  • Fans of casual puzzle games and brain teasers
