About the Game

Move the Dots with the Lines You Draw

There are only two things on the board in do-ot: dots and lines.

Your goal is to connect the constantly appearing dots with lines, use those lines to move the dots, and clear them from the board.

Different Colours Attract. Matching Colours Repel.

Try clicking one of two dots connected by a line.

The other dot connected to it will move.

If the two dots are the same colour, the other dot is pushed away by one space.

If they are different colours, the other dot is pulled closer by one space.

That is the basic way you move dots.

Line Up the Dots and Clear Them

Now for clearing dots.

Line up three or more dots of the same colour vertically or horizontally with no gaps, then connect them with a line to clear them.

If the conditions are met, you can even clear multiple rows or columns in a single stroke.

Minimal Elements. Maximum Addictiveness.

do-ot is minimal in both appearance and mechanics, yet those simple elements create a surprisingly rich puzzle space.

Every situation gives you room to think carefully about your next move, while also leaving plenty of room to improve your skills.

As you learn to control the dots more precisely, the seemingly simple board begins to reveal completely different possibilities.

Before you know it, you may find yourself playing again and again.

What’s Coming in the Full Version

The full version is planned to include:

  • A Mission Mode that teaches useful strategies and techniques

  • New types of dots with special abilities

  • A Challenge Mode where the board keeps expanding

These modes and mechanics are designed to make the game enjoyable for both beginners and experienced puzzle players.
