Circle The Dot for Android
Circle the dot is a very fun, challenging, and addicting game! So if you like those types of games you'd probably like this one! It's fun because you always wanna beat it but it's really hard to beat it (in my opinion)! You just keep trying and trying! Time flies when you're having fun though! Anyway this is a great game! So if you like games that make you keep trying over and over again, than you'd love this game! If you don't like those types of games, you probably wouldn't like this game.
At first I thought it was impossible but I won 4 in a row and my best (not of the 4 in a row) is 6 moves. I found that trying to place a dot ever other space helps and don't place your dot right next to the blue dot protect the most vulnerable side a couple spaces from the dot it really helped me. Yes, sometimes the set up has to be perfect but I'm able to do pretty well now.
At first glance this game is unbeatable. Once you figure out that the dot takes the shortest route to the edge then it becomes a tiny bit easier. Your first move determines if you will win or lose and with the amount of starting yellow dots determining how hard the game will be. Its basically 40% skill and 60% luck. I'm keeping it on my phone, but I doubt I'll ever play it again. My suggestion to the developers; add more of a tutorial than just "circle the blue dot".
Great concept, and the AU doesn't make stupid moves that hands you the game. However, losing the game us guaranteed unless a randomly lucky initial placement appears. Most of the time the game is lost the moment the dot reaches the third row from the edge, which is not possible to prevent. If the board shape or number of starting dots were higher, it would be a great game.
Sometimes the round is just impossible to beat. I would maybe make the map a tad bit larger? Maybe more initial orange dots? I've been playing this game a while and sure, once you figure out the mechanics, circling the blue dot becomes more intuitive, but winning is still down to how the round begins.
This game is basically you try 50 times and the dot wins 49 times, if you're lucky. I honestly don't know why I play this game, it's not that good. I have played other versions of this and it it's more fun. If they made the board bigger or gave you a few turns before, I probably would like this game. Hope this helped!
As others have said most setups are unbeatable. One person says to get the dot in a corridor but there are 2 problems with that. One you aren't always given a premade corridor, and there is no possibility to make one. Second the dot usually starts with 2 directions which will only take 3 or 4 moves for it to get away if you don't block it, of course you can never be sure which way it will go.
I have 6 jobs in India. I think the last two weeks, so if you're a great way. The other day I can see that you can get the latest news from the same time as the best of the best. The only thing that I have a good time to get the latest news from a variety of different types of people who are
It would be different if it couldn't escape out of the sides, only 1 spot maybe that changes each round or would would quickly draw a circle before it escapes. I have won once and that is because they basically did it for me.
The game has attractive graphics, but its too far based on luck. Also the dot is a little bit too smart. I've been trying for a week and I've only won the game twice. Not rating 5 stars until you fix this.
This game is a fun addictive game. Many levels appear unbeatable but not as many are as you might think. Would be nice if it had a mute button and kept track of wins, losses, and consecutive wins (best win streak). I like to see how many I can beat in a row.
It is reasonably fun to play if you bear this in mind. People who have completed it in 2 moves must have had the best possible start - BY CHANCE. It is very slow to update your high scores on the scoreboards.
Can't freakin win!!!! I have uninstalled and installed this game three times. Because it makes me so frustrated!!! You can only win with a good set up of pre-placed dots. If you want more people to play this game. Make it more easy. Then progressively get harder. Not straight away on expert. It's to hard to beat.
This game is not about luck it's about using your brain and determination. If you can't solve it within the first 30 tries and you just give up, don't claim it's impossible. Maybe then you should realize you're not as intelligent as you think you are. This game is not about instant gratification, it's a test and training exercise to become more strategic.
Although you need some strategy and cleverness to get good scores, some luck is always needed to win. The satisfaction of finally winning and outwitting that little dot is great though. I would want to ask for the possibility to have difficulty levels with more and less starting dots.
This game loses its novelty really quickly. Unlike what you might expect, this game has no strategy to it. You have no solid way to guess or plan on how to capture the dot, it's all about luck. And that luck comes about once every thirty tries. It's not a fun game. Don't waste your time on it.
To download this game for extra lives I never would have played. Truth be told this is possibly the most annoying game I have ever played so much so that I decided to waste more time to write this review to let you know just how much I did not like it. I hope you don't consider this app an accomplishment because it is terrible.
As others pointed out, it produces initial configurations which are impossible to beat. Just lazy from the developers. It was be fun only if you know that there is a way to beat it. Now that I know there are impossible configurations, I don't want to waste my time to actually figure out that the current one is so, and if I don't do that, all effort in capturing the dot is bound to be wasted. Waste of time 99% of the time.
Yay! Oh Yay!! I'm here to vindicate the genius dudes who put this terrific headbangin' game together!! It IS solvable! And it only took me about twenty attempts!! Lol Hardly nothing, in the cosmic scheme of things! I thought it was a sham at first and I gave it a not too kewl review, but I quickly deleted that one for this well earned 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ one!
This could be a brilliant game... if you actually stood a chance of winning. Your score is based on how lucky you are, but because of an idiotic layout the dot will simply move away until the point where trapping it isn't actually possible. Complete waste of time.
The random layouts can actually produce boards you cannot win. Go ahead, map out every possible move if you believe it's not based on luck, and you'll find that some maps spawn where you cannot possibly trap the dot. It would be a fun game if every single board was possible to beat.
Definitely requires a good setup to win, but strategy is still required! Some starts you know you can't win, but others are fun. My daughter got an 8 the first few times she played. My best is 9. The fun is on trying to predict the dot's path and head it off.
Not that bad. I actually captured the dot like... 7 out of 15 times. Really easy when you realize what you're doing. I didn't needed a book of cheats, but one tip: don't start circling the dot right next to it but start getting some near edges of the " dot map ".
It is really very hard to beat and I want to delete it. But if I do so, in the game stick hero I will not have the precious hero. I don't know why a panada is a precious hero in that game. Circle the dot is the boring game in the whole world
The game sets you up to lose FAR too often. What kind of fun is a game that's literally impossible to win the majority of the time? I'm really not being a sore loser either, what makes a game fun is the chance of losing. However, in this game the odds are very much against you, and most of the time, unbeatable. It's a good thing this game is free otherwise it would be robbery.
This freaking game sucks. I wish it had easy evels and hard levels. It's litarally impossible to win. I've tried it for so long and it won't work with me. Don't get this game unless you want to have a game that you can't win. I wish I took everyone else's comments serious ly. They are right.
Good concept, terribly pulled off. Almost impossible. The arena is way too small and all you can actually do is divert the path of the blue ballas it makes its way to inevitably win. I played this game for hours and only won once. It is a game MASSIVELY focused on luck.
I enjoyed every moment of learning the AI of the dot and how to beat it. It is one of the greatest puzzle games I've played, because there is no perfect strategy, there is only adapting to the RNG dot placements and where the dot decides to go. This puzzle takes blind luck to beat once, and deep thought to beat it twice. I've played 2048 and other popular puzzles, but this is the only one I didn't get good enough at to win every time.
Its a really fun, challenging game, but all the pings beeps and swishes can get annoying really fast and its inconvenient to have to lower my music because of that. A mute button or some kind of volume control would make this a five star app for me.
This game is stupid. I hate it. If you want something that will waste your time then get this game. It's boring and impossible to beat. The dot keeps moving where you can't block it. Then it makes you feel like a lose because you lost to such a retarded game. I do not recommend this game. I wish I could rate it zero stars!
I don't think it was very hard, but I don't think it is entirely based on luck either. It's not impossible, and it's not cheating. And only half of the time it is impossible. 50% of the time it is inconveniently placed, but otherwise it is a great game. I usually get it 1 in 20 times. It's that hard once you find a strategy. Managed to do it in eight moves.
Played for few hours and found that blue dot tries for shortest path, this way u can trap it. My best is 6 and often I catch it in 8 to 10 moves. Love it. Yes, initial layout matters, most of the time blue dot finds a way out due to probability of layout. That's luck. Otherwise the game would be so simple and boring. Random layout makes its challenging. Designer of the game can make Scoring little different, eg how much a player extended escape of blue dot, converted escape into win. It will b delighting.
It's hard, but once you know what you're doing, you circle the dot more often. You have to really use your mind for this game. It's just that sometimes, random dots aren't placed conveniently lol
Itsso hard and you know you wont get it unless you are superr lucky so its lyk wen flappy bird 1st cme out, u kept tryin coz u wanted to make high score, but on this game its just impossible to even get past 1! Its wayy toooo hard.
It is impossible to win without having half of the board taken up with starter dots. The blue dot can dodge almost everything you place, and stopping its track is a dream you will never achieve
Unless you made the game or u are super lucky there is no way you can win. I have spent days trying to trap the dot and I never have got it trapped.please make this game easier to play.
Please make another mode where I am the blue dot. And I think it's way too hard, you have yo be super lucky to win
Yes, it depends on luck, it can be impossible or extremely easy (I have beaten it in 5 moves twice) but once you figure out the strategy it becomes really fun and addicting. I play it often and now I can win one out of three games without a problem! 5 stars from me.
My best is 16 moves cuz I was just freaking lucky. Its hard at the start middle and end even if u know what ur freakin doing. I've only completed it 2 times in 10 days. This is some hard stuff

Ive captured the circle 12 times with in 30 minutes. my best is in 8 dots. I will give a hint that the circle will "always" go to the closer end and using the other dots that are already placed will help it when you guide the circle to it . it's a great mind game but the only things I do not like is when I touch the screen the dot isn't always placed where I touched and I wished there were levels so it can get harder or easier depending on the user skill level instead of random easy or impossible levels
