About the Game

Dot Hop is a grid-based puzzle game. Find a path from start to end without leaving any dots behind. You can't move backwards, but you can hop over dots you've already dotted. Some of these can get pretty hard, but the knots are satisfying to unravel.

Dot Hop has 72 puzzles and over 1000 dots to be hopped. The puzzles have been created by hand, but a generator is in the works, along with more mechanics and game modes.
