Great game. I like the puzzles and the replay value of the game. Trying to get the highest score in each puzzle is fun. Also others physics games with drawing elements usually have immense slowdowns, this one works perfectly. Gran juego. Me gustaron los puzzles y la rejugabilidad. Tratar de obtener el máximo puntaje en cada nivel es divertido. Ademas, otros juegos que utilizan dibujo y ponen énfasis en la físicas, tienden a colgarse o volverse muy lentos. Sin embargo este funciona perfecto. OS:ubuntu 16.04

I really like Simple Dot! After 30 hours I have been able to get 711,091 points and am listed as #1 at this time. It takes a lot of imagination and understanding to get above 4900 points on a level, but that is where I get the most satisfaction. I haven't been able to do that on all of them but on many of them. More please!

An inexpensive game with simple concept that is nicely executed. Dev is also quick to respond to issues as you can see below. So give it a go! [spoiler]So why the thumbs down? Everything went fine and I was already optimising a few here and there when I got to level 15. Put in my first try for the first half, then went on to the last bit when dots stopped coming. For some reason the first part was failing now. Restarted and put in another solution for the first half and waited. And after a minute or so, the same solution that worked started failing again. So basically, the game is inconsistent, which is not only annoying, but also completely unfair with regard to the leaderboard. However, it will definitely be getting a thumbs up after this is fixed![/spoiler] (Linux version was used for the review)

I started the game only for a moment, and stayed for over 2 hours... This is a great puzzle game with good music (but with minimalist graphics). We start slowly, and the mechanics are gradually presented to us. Real fun starts when there are more lines available and the levels open to us 3 and more different ways of solution. I spent over two hours passing the game and I know that I will come back to it to get all the achievements.

This is an indie game with reasonably interesting mechanics (à la Rube Goldberg mechanisms or The Incredible Machine), but it's utterly lacking in polish. The physics are janky, and the balls occasionally behave erratically or outright despawn. Maybe they're on a timer? It's certainly not explained in-game. Crucial controls are missing - to my constant irritation, I couldn't find a way to delete any but the most recently placed obstacle. Also, some levels contain moving platforms. The par solution usually involves them, and they unfortunately slow down the game immensely. Speed controls could have circumvented this issue. Ultimately, despite my numerous misgivings about the game, I still found it reasonably enjoyable. It's just unfortunate that it falls far short of its potential due to some minor omissions.

Simple and amazing! I only wanted to give it a try and eventually it kept me for the whole evening... Rules are simple, but it's not always so easy to solve - it gets harder with the time. Requires thinking! Very well made (incl. esthetics and music).

It's just so cool! I love it. It's simple and addictive :) Can't stop playing. On the beggining it's pretty easy, but after a few levels you need to really think for a while before you can pass. Challenging and funny!

Simple Dot is "simple" in an elegant sort of way, but it's not always easy. Fun!

[u]In short:[/u] Simple Dot is an innovative physics-driven puzzle game where you have to guide falling balls by drawing lines with various properties. The gameplay core is rock solid and pretty fun to experiment with, but as a one-developer-project Simple Dot is a little rough around the edges (notably in the UI department). I was surprised how much I like the soundtrack. The game seems fairly underrated to me and for roughly 5 hours of gameplay it is also incredibly cheap. A very easy recommendation for puzzle lovers looking for a breath of fresh air and don't mind a little clunkiness. [u]In long:[/u] Each of the 73 levels is a self-contained maze with a spawner, a goal and lots of obstacles in between. The spawner constantly spits out a series of balls that fall into the void, die on spikes or end up getting stuck somewhere. [b][u]Gameplay[/u][/b] now consists in drawing lines with your mouse, which creates new platforms. The basic version helps move dots by making inclines or floo...
