Logic Dots 2 Reviews

This game is a lot of fun but they really ruined it by showing what shapes are supposed to be in the solution. At first I tried to ignore it but when I finished a puzzle and it wasn’t moving on to the next, I realized I HAD to look at the top and see what shapes are supposed to be in it. This is really frustrating as sometimes I’m just looking at how the shapes fit into it and not actually trying to puzzle out the numbers.

Please give us the option to remove the top bar with the shapes in it and let us figure it out on our own!

This seems like a fun enough idea for a puzzle game, but I can’t get past the little color bar near the top of the screen and right below the pause button. It isn’t an annoying presence or anything, just that it gives away the shape of the answer to the puzzle that you are trying to solve. Am I missing something here? I’ve checked the settings section, but can’t find a way to turn this feature off. Long story short, neat little game, fun idea, way too easy because they give away the answer.

I will admit this game is smooth and works well but that’s all I’ll give it. If you’ve ever heard of picross for the 3ds or any other games like it you’d know it has the same puzzle system of connecting dots in this way but the difference is this game just has dots and picross you get a cool little image after you complete the puzzle. I won’t say this is bad but this is unoriginal. I can say it’s smooth and I’ll still use it because more picross is better but I cannot give this a high rating as it simply isn’t an original idea.

I’m glad I started with Dots 2; at the time I didn’t even realize it was a 2. I just downloaded the Dots and the second is so much better than the first; if I went the other way I’d have given up on Dots before ever going to Dots 2. The user interface is a lot better in Dots 2. I like puzzle games and this one is a good concept; the big issue I have after paying $3 to unlock Dots 2 is the limitation of levels. The number of puzzles doesn’t justify the cost. Save the $3 and just watch the commercials.
The developers need to add more levels rather than more versions. I like the Flow Free puzzle games; there are now 4 different varieties each of which have hundreds of puzzles. They all also do new daily puzzles. They to are also $3; they are a much better bang for the buck. If this designer could get a similar volume of puzzles this would be a definite 5 stars.

I like the game but I don’t like that I have to watch so many ads between packs to unlock them. Why don’t the ads that play during the gameplay earn hints or earn more hints for completing the previous pack. I earned 8 hints for completing a pack and now have to watch 12 ads to unlock the next pack. I know I watched several ads while playing the levels with no hints earned.

Game is amazing. First and foremost. I’m not even here to complain about ads. But the fact that you have to pay money to unlock the packs is not cool. Unless you’re able to watch 15 videos for 15 free ones, you’ll have to pay; especially if you use hints during the level. Side note - if tutorial is going to give free hint, don’t force users to use it during the tutorial if they’re smart and don’t need it.

There are a number of grid games out there. What sets this one apart is the best little pattern guide in the pink ribbon at the top.

Unfortunately, the tutorials (as comprehensive as they are about all the other features) fail to highlight this crucial piece.

I solved an early puzzle without using the proposed pattern and spent close to five minutes double and triple checking myself before seeing the patterns at the top. That shouldn’t happen in a game with tutorials this nice.

I absolutely loved this game. So much that even after having to watch a TON of adds to keep playing I still loved it. There really were a lot of adds tho in order to keep playing. What really disappointed me tho was when I beat the 10x10 board and when 11x11 wouldnt come up I purchased the unlocked version and still nothing. It sure didnt mind charging me for it tho which is a huge bummer.

Ymmv. Personally, I tried out about 20 levels, most of them in the “hard” set, and I realized I was still waiting for the game to get interesting.

The background music is nice, the type of puzzle is new, it’s aesthetically pleasing, as far as I can tell it’s not buggy or anything. And I appreciate the payment model — free with ads, or pay a small one-time fee for extra content and no ads.

It’s just that it never took me more than a couple seconds to figure out how to solve each level, once I understood the rules. And because each puzzle is so small, it’s not even useful for just zoning out and playing a while. It’s a couple seconds of play, a couple seconds of win screen, repeat.

If the same company makes an app with a different type of puzzle that’s more challenging, I’d be willing to give it a try.

I played through the first two level packs and didn’t use a single hint but the third pack takes 15 hints unlock and I’ve only got 14. And now I’m expected to watch a video ad to get more free hints. No thanks, I’ll just stick to flow free where I don’t have to save up to play new levels.

And actual gameplay feedback: the one thing I couldn’t stand was having to double tap every time to X out a square. It would be much more efficient to have a mode switch button and then just single tap each square.

Sort of a Sudoko without the numbers. I’m early in the levels where it’s pretty easy although without the clues it would be much harder. A good game where you can spend just a few minutes for a quick mental workout or where you could spend hours without getting too bored.

This game seems nicely done and well polished except for the occasional crashes for no obvious reason. It's irritating but not irritating enough for me to take the time to bother opening up a case and sending a bunch of info over only to be told that "someone" will look into it and get back to me if any more info is needed. Nah,...I'll keep my 20 minutes.

For those of you who don't know and like this concept then I suggest you try out a game called Paint It Back. It's almost the exact same concept except you get to "paint" pictures so it's more satisfying at the end. I love that game so this game is well liked by someone like me who enjoys puzzles.

Now that I turned my IPhone off and restarted it, it reset and that infuriating ad is gone so my rating of your game just went up by two stars. I LOVE this game. It’s one of the best logic games I’ve tried and believe me, I have tried many of them. It keeps my attention and the ads are short. I recommend it highly to anyone q
Who likes to play logic games and use your mind to figure out the solutions without them being impossible to solve like some of the so sophisticated ones that need an IQ over 167 (mine).

I had to get a new phone since my old one was defective. I like your new improvements such as your explanations about why you can’t place dots diagonally around certain configurations which makes the rules more understandable. It’s nice to know that you’re always working on making your difficult logic game easier for everyone to enjoy. Keep up the good work!
Thank you,

...with everyone else. I’m glad I’m not the only one who had this opinion. This game is wonderful and I love having to pass time. Except now, I’ve got 7 hints and need 15 hints to unlock the next pack. Which means either fork out some money or watch 8 ads for 8 hints. I should get a hint for having to watch all the ads in between the puzzles! It’s usually 1 or 2 ads followed by a “unlock ad free for 2.99?” I can see how this would drive off other players.

That being said it’s still a wonderful game. I would love to see a “slide” feature to lock the blocks and not a “double-tap”. Having to do that to 16 blocks or more just seems tedious sometimes.

All in all good job!

I didn’t think I could be impressed by a game about dots, but wow. Just difficult enough to make you think, but not too difficult to solve the puzzles. The mellow music also lends to a relaxed feeling. The numbers on the sides are a real help in solving some of the levels. Overall fantastic game! Great job devs.

I absolutely adore these puzzles. Picked it up on evening last week and have lost track of time playing. And, for whatever reason, it has a very calming effect on me.

I finished the 10x10 in a few days and even going back and replaying the puzzles greatly appeals to me.

This is one app that I will never delete from my phone.

I was surprised by how enjoyable this is. It has a clean interface and is honestly somewhat addictive

Edit: I’m taking a star back because I’m tired of “skipping” the tutorial every time I’ve open LogicDots2 . I’ve seen it. Go away

Edit #2: giving star back because they made the tutorial go away

This is a great puzzle game. All levels can be played for free (save your hints). Adds only pop up every 8 or so levels so they hardly interrupt gameplay once past the first or second set. It’s a logic puzzle with its own twist. Logic puzzles have been around since before video games were created so it’s definitely not a copy of any other game. Awesome work, keep it up!

Love this game but I beat all of the levels months ago. I read a response from the developer that they would be launching 500 new levels in January, but still I wait. I’m looking forward to playing this again.

This is a great game for logic puzzle enthusiasts. Simple tap controls, easy to erase and move, simple scoring scheme. I find this easy, even in the difficult levels, but entertaining enough to keep going. I haven’t needed to use a hint and currently have 66, so can’t comment on that. I love that you can gray out squares- this makes solving much quicker.
I would like to see a TIMER with scoring related to time to solve. That would make it more challenging and fun for me.
