Dotello: Dots Match Puzzle

This is a very fun game, but needs more dots. The following: - T Dot - Similar to the L dot, except you have match it in a T shape. - Switcher - It can be a dot color. Switch it on and multiple dots in the board turns that color, but not all of them. - Math Dot - It adds or subtracts dots. Matching it in 5 moves adds 5 moves. Not matching it causes it to subtract 5 dots. I hope you like these ideas!!!

Challenging, interesting, fun puzzle game … I could go on. HOWEVER, when the ad inevitably pops up (and the sound to my phone is on) I receive a BLAST of ad music! EVEN WHEN I turn off both the sound and music in the APP settings, the sound STILL comes through with the ads. Of course, I want to leave the sound to my phone on so I can receive alerts … you know, texts, phone calls, other notifications. And, occasionally, I will play a game when on a call (eek!). But, when the ad music comes blaring through, I am diving to turn off the sound on the ad. Not attending to the ad! Annoyed with the ad. But, ho! I can go to my OTHER game apps that allow BOTH the game sounds and the game AD sounds to be turned off. Happy player! Glancing at the ad, noticing the ad, and not having to hear ANY of the ad sounds. Not annoyed, not turning off the game, and not going to another game that allows play without game sounds/music AND without ad music. I gave the game three stars with two stars off for this easy fix.

This used to be my favorite game. I have a new device and have to watch ads to play the game. There are levels you can’t win without buying cheats. Paid to remove ads but still have to view ads because there is no option to restore purchase. Sad that my favorite game has turned into a cash grab.

A great puzzle game, i am very addicted. My only issue is very rarely one level will be extremely hard. Its only been like 2 levels out of the first 100, but when it happens its very annoying because the bonus items (like movable square, dot remover, etc.) are given out in extremely limited quantities and not impactful enough to help you pass the level. Which means when a level is hard you’re basically screwed; your only option is to repeatedly play the same until a favorable combination of dots is presented, which can take 70 to 100 tries. Another issue is that sometimes it tells me i ran out of space after using a dot remover, even though i should have had another turn left. And the green and blue dots are a bit difficult to differentiate; i wish there was a color blind or patterned setting. Also, i wish on the “bonus” levels (the black question mark levels), there was a way to reveal or get a hint about the answer as i think it would help me learn the game strategy.

There’s nothing more annoying than paying once or even twice just to find even more levels after that require you to continually spend even more money to win.

I don’t understand why the game will end because I’m “out of space” when there are still moves available. I could understand it if there weren’t actually spaces available, but if I plan to make a match in two moves, the game will suddenly end when I can clearly still see moves! Very frustrating.

Paid for boosts and completed all the levels on a different device. Purchased new iPad and had to start from from the beginning. Had to restart this and related games (Jewel Galaxy, Dotello Slide, etc.) from the beginning. Could not restore progress or purchases from the game Game Center. Disappointing.

I had this game years ago and came back to it a few weeks ago. It used to be a really fun, relaxing game but the ads between nearly every single level is just down right annoying! You used to be able to easily earn coins for boosters but it seems that has gone away (or at least somewhat) and the only way to get enough coins for boosters is to pay for them. If you don’t mind 30 second ads for every 1-2 minutes of game time - give it a try!

I have had glitches with this program for quite a while. There have been no updates in a long time. It freezes and closes out. Thought it was fixed because it was fine for week, however it’s back worse than ever. Developer states they played the level with no issues. I don’t have problems with any other apps.

Sufficiently difficult puzzles, infrequent ads, and no pestering to review. Cheers dev folks. You have a winner.
