Description:
dots is a chain reaction strategy game i rebuilt from a game me and a friend were obsessed with back in 2019. we played it for hours on an old android tablet, it was offline and kinda buggy, and when i went to find it again years later it was just gone. so i remade it from scratch in the browser, online this time, with ratings and friend challenges.
the rules take about 30 seconds: you charge up your own cells, and when a cell hits 4 charges it explodes into the cells next to it and takes them over. that can set off a chain reaction that cascades across the whole board, so a game youre losing can flip in a single move. you win by capturing all of your opponents cells. theres no luck and nothing hidden, kinda like chess, but you can pick it up way faster. theres three board sizes and a few time controls if you want it fast or slow, and a rating ladder if you want to take it seriously.
