The Dots game has gained 1 million downloads in 7 days
The new game from Betaworks One has managed to enter the top 5 free downloads in 19 countries in a week since its release, and the number of its downloads has crossed the 1 million mark. Read more about the project and its achievements in our material.
For a long time there have been no high-profile projects on the Western market, pleasing with loud figures and success stories. Of the latter, I recall only 4 pics 1 word, whose high positions in the world’s top caused mass hysteria in discordant developer circles. As a result: the market for some month turned out to be literally overloaded with similar projects. By the way, for the authors of the project from the German LOTUM GmbH, games are a non–core activity.
How much the authors of 4 pics 1 word earned, as well as how many copies the game sold – the general public still does not know. It is quite possible that its authors simply were not ready for success, and now they are hiding from the press.
Anyway, a week ago a project was released that could well become another “storm in the mobile glass”. It’s called Dots: A Game About Connecting. In the first seven days since its release, it has been downloaded more than 1 million times. Not bad for a beginner, considering that the unknown Betaworks One was engaged in its publication and development.
The project itself is another variation on the Match-3 theme, which resembles a simplified minimalistic version of Diamonds Blaze from Game Insight.
There is a field of 6×7 colored dots. Dots of the same color standing next to each other can be removed, earning points on this. Task: to score the maximum number of points in 60 seconds. Yes, the longer the bundle, the more points you can earn. Also, if you close the line by selecting, for example, a square, you will get even more points.
Points are also the game currency at once. All your results based on the results of the games are summed up. You can buy game bonuses for points. You can also buy glasses for real money. This, in fact, is the basis for the monetization of the game.
Dots has four high score tables at once: your high score table, the global table, the Facebook table and the Twitter table.
It seems to be simple, but at the moment the game is in the top 5 free apps in 19 countries, including the USA. As for the box office tops, then she still has nothing to brag about – 622 position in the American top grossing overall. Perhaps if the game receives regular updates, its profitability will increase.
