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!

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 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 floors above spikes. Later bounce pads, repulsive lines, rotors and attractors join the fray, giving you lots of tools and even ways to counteract gravity. Levels also get more creative with windmills, ac…
