Two Dots - Connect the Colors in IOS

★★★★★

★★★★★ Creative, colorful, fun app! JUST ONE THING

~2021 UPDATE!~ PLEASE READ AND TAKE TO CONSIDERATION THANK YOU! :) PLEASE fix your daily prize part of this app!! I’ve noticed you guys change the doors with gift boxes which is cute and all but IT DOESNT SHOW UP EVERYDAY! And then it would say I missed my streak. This is frustrating because I open this app everyday just to get the daily prize. :/ So please, App developers fix the bug or glitch that is going on with the daily prize not popping up everyday! The daily prize really makes a difference, it helps me pass many levels, also the win streak power ups are really helpful thank you for adding that as well. This game definitely makes you think, which makes it fun and challenging. The different themes and levels are what makes you coming back for more! I’ve been playing this game for over a year now and I’m not tired of it at all. JUST ONE SUGGESTION: can I use my golden keys for some power ups?? Can we make that a option game developers!! I would honestly play this game everyday if I could but with me being on a budget I’m not spending $5 -$100 dollars on 5 erasers and 6 booster boxes. No. I’m sorry. I have soo many golden keys that I would like to use them on things that are worth it. The extra lives to me aren’t worth it. PLEASE READ THIS AND TAKE IT TO CONSIDERATION PLEASE. :) :)

★★★★★ Thumbs Down On New Updates

I have been a player of this game for the last couple of years. It’s my go to when I’m bored, or just need to decompress from the day. I have really loved all of the features of the game, but in the last couple of weeks they have rolled out a lot of changes that are making me reconsider being an active player, who also spends money to play occasionally. A. The app is SO buggy now. I have had it freeze up and crash so many times the last few weeks right in the middle of a game. I have lost several boosters, and other items that I used in the level because your app failed. Not cool, especially when you paid for them. B. The team challenges have been one of my favorite features! I love them! But now you don’t have a collective team goal to reach? Without that I don’t really have the desire to keep playing to win. It was fun to try and reach a specific goal as a team and watch our progress in real time. I find myself not opening the app to play nearly as much during a challenge now. C. Now you cant buy a single booster? And there’s no way to earn gold for free? Come on. You guys are getting super greedy! D. I don’t like not being able to see upfront which levels are hard and ultra hard. Bring that back. E. Like many others have said, the scavenger hunts are one of the best parts of the game, but not being able to play without paying is pretty lame. Why don’t you let us use our keys earned to play the extra levels? Or let us earn gold instead of keys?? Do better!

★★★★★ Please make the Level Streak boosters optional

I like to challenge myself by using as few power ups and boosts as possible. This game does that very well by giving you power ups and letting you use them in any level. It really frustrates me that the Level Streak boosts happen automatically because that takes away my element of choice as the player. I can’t choose how I play the game, the game gives me these power ups and forces me to use them. I’m a person who gets very irritated by backseat gaming, and it feels like someone is trying to give me help I don’t want every time a Level Streak boost is forced into my game. All other boosts and power ups are optional, why aren’t these ones the same? It might sound silly, but it makes me want to stop playing because it feels like someone is telling me how to play my game. Perhaps if there was a choice in the message before a level starts that lets you choose to use your streak bonuses, and if you don’t use em, then you loose em’. This game is fantastic and deserves five stars. I’m currently playing back to where I was years ago before my phone died and my data vanished, and I’m falling in love with it again. However, this one little thing completely disrupts my play style. It’s a fine feature, just one I don’t want to use and could easily be made optional, as it is a reward, not a core mechanic. I might get stuck on a level for a while, but it’s because I want and need that little challenge. Please make the Level Streak boosts optional.

★★★★★ Update now too difficult

Update: they fixed the glitches a few weeks after I wrote my last review and kept on playing nearly daily. I’m currently on level 5519 and the last 100 levels or so have become too difficult. If I can’t pass one after a couple days and numerous cheats, then it’s just feeling like it’s time to let it go again. They need to figure out when challenging loses its fun and thrill and just becomes frustration. I will pay less money or watch fewer adds if I know the cheats will be useless. If I earn or collect cheats I expect they will work. I just wasted 5 cheats after being too frustrated and the level simply wouldn’t drop enough of the item I was after to even win in the amount of moves. Not dropping an anchor or an egg after three moves is ridiculous. I currently don’t recommend again unless they return their algorithm. Why change what worked. Old review: I give it 5 stars for the fun I have normally playing it but 2 stars currently. I’ve played Two Dots for several years. Just broached level 5000. The last 2 weeks the app keeps shutting down after finishing a level—and seems to always be after a particularly hard one I spent a lot of time on and used cheats on. When I go back in it doesn’t show I passed the level and I have to start again. I’ve seen a few odd adds pop up, which it didn’t used to have, that I think is causing the glitches. If it keeps going I will have to give it up. Too annoying. Trying another update to see if that fixes it.

★★★★★ Enjoyable

Update 11 Feb: New main map levels are unplayable, it tries to show you how to solve geodes using an illegal move and never works, but it COUNTS YOUR ATTEMPTED MOVES! I’ve wasted two booster boxes attempting to play this level. No response on Twitter or HelpShift, does anyone work at Dots anymore? Please fix your game. The Flip, searches, and Treasure Hunt still work, why doesn’t the main map? Took away two stars because the game is not as good as it used to be and staff is unresponsive. Also, please stop doing business with advertisers who have violent or adult content. I can’t believe some of the ads that are allowed. UPDATE: Where did the daily mystery prizes go? The March 1 update has a flaw. Please fix! I find myself playing this more than I thought I would when I first downloaded it. It is quite entertaining, but sometimes the levels feel rigged. Like during Treasure Hunts, I often get stuck on the final level, and cannot solve the puzzle. I know they're trying to get me to spend money to buy extra power-ups, but I rarely spend money on games, and that's not going to change. All in all it's a good game, and it would have had five stars if not for the pressure tactics. UPDATE: I think they revamped some things. I no longer get stuck at the end of the Treasure Hunts, and I really love the addition of the Expeditions. I play this game every day, whereas my other favorite games might only be played every couple of weeks. Beautiful game!

★★★★★ Entertaining but sometimes problematic

I found this game to be really entertaining and a good way to exercise the mind. I do have some problems with it though. For most levels one must arrange the dots to form squares, and use those squares to eliminate many dots at once. But there are things that get in the way of forming squares and make completing the level near impossible. I‘ve found that, for many levels, if one makes a single wrong move then making squares isn’t doable for the rest of the level. The game doesn’t seem to supply the dots in a way that gives the player another chance to make a square. Basically, the player is stuck swiping at random dot arrangements for the rest of the level until they inevitably lose. Another thing I really dislike are the win streak „boosts“. If the player wins a single level they will get a win streak. This comes with boost dots that, when eliminated, will eliminate many other dots at once. The thing that bugs me is that the boost actually gets in the way of finishing the tasks. It eliminates random dots in a way that isn’t helpful to making squares, so you’re stuck again just swiping at random dots. I actually sacrifice my lives and restart levels often just so I can get rid of the boost. So yeah. I‘m only writing this super long review because I wish the game designers could change these features to make the game more enjoyable. I already like it a lot, I just wish it were easier to play in these ways.

★★★★★ The amount of ads is killing it.

I love the game itself, but as others have said, the ads are destroying the experience. The Scavenger hunt was one of my favorite parts to play, but now, obnoxious ads pop up after you find a few objects. Luckily they are quick, but there are so many that it interrupts the flow of searching. I frequently just close out the game. I would prefer to be able to buy an ad free version. I voluntarily watch the ads all the time to get rewards, and can even understand an ad AFTER you’ve played a puzzle once in awhile. But when they pop up repeatedly WHILE you’re playing a game, then I think they’ve gone too far. They’ve also gone too far when you practically have to buy things to pass a level because they make the puzzles so hard. And has anyone else noticed that the daily reward is actually a half daily reward? If you don’t play daily, you lose your daily win streak. I assumed daily meant 24 hours like in my other games. I think it’s 12 hours. I’ve lost my daily streak countless times when I know I played within 24 hours. Of course you can save it with coins that you need to purchase. As much as I love the games and puzzles, I’m just about to give up on it entirely, unless they solve the ad problem and allow you to earn more coins and rewards in app. And I was upset like everyone else that they took away the extra moves in the win streak. The way it is now, it’s just no fun to play anymore.
