It's a pretty game. Good controls, and good gameplay. 10/10
Reviews for "Dots: Revamped! Expansion"
Simple game, but pretty cute and cool overall! Was really impressed at the overall presentation of the game with the colorful and responsive menus, UI, and HUD: those elements are forgotten by a lot of indie game developers and its nice to see so much work put into them as it really helps give it a sense of professionalism. Game is a little overly simplistic for me: only having rainbow mode as anything special, which doesn't do that much in the first place, last too little and take so long to charge can really make some of the levels monotonous at times, but I will say that once you get deeper into the difficulties and the balls really start to stack up, it gets quite fun! I do wish the screen and game elements were a bit bigger: can't really see the cute faces on the dots, and I also wish the UI was a bit better in some regards to intuitiveness with, for example, the rainbow bar being, well, actually rainbow colored to denote it instead of blue. Still, quite nice!

Hey thanks for the thoughtful review and the compliments + feedback. Appreciated!
I agree with pretty much everything you said. Especially with the bar being rainbow colored. I did consider new special types but I found it too hard to balance when enemies were 1 hit kills. And I didn't want to change it too much from the original 2008 game.
And by the way, since this was the browser version I had to make a lot of cuts for performance. The original game is 60 fps, a bigger game screen and has slightly increased visual effects. The original version is on Steam for free if you're interested!

Cute little addictive game. Nice happy themed music too! Nice job!
Boss was really hard. I haven't had to have that much finger strength and dexterity for any game before here on newgrounds. Took me a couple days on and off. Realized that my dot's diagonal movements are faster than the vertical and horizontal movements.
I Rember playing the original but I was way too young to get any good at this game, but now I feel like a master while barely maneuvering through the angry dots, great controls, great pace, excellent game
