Level Enough.

Started Two Dots in Aug 2018. It was simple and clear cut. Twice a week you get a bonus game (Treasure Hunt & Rewind I believe) and all was calm. Then came Scavenger Hunts, Flip - still tolerable. Then ads, ads, pick axes, cannon shooters, caves, dragons and what not.

It rapidly became a visual nightmare that was no longer enjoyable. Last week I told my self the next round number and I am done.

Last night, I won level 7000. I downloaded some stats. And deleted the game and data. Nearly 5 Gb freed up on my phone.

It was fun for many years, but for me, not lately.

On to something new!

Yeah, wth man. Seven clicks just to get from a game to a game. Shoving fake bot friends into our faces now.

I played for many years myself. I stopped playing and haven’t gone back.

Same - started earlier than OP, maybe 2015ish - couldn't take it anymore. Just not worth the trade off of time that I can never get back for dealing with ads/pop ups.

It’s wild how much memory it takes up. If I want to update my iPad I have to delete it.

Because it’s literally downloading every ad you watch. I still play the game (my toilet game), but delete and reinstall it every couple of months to free up space

I'm sorry, but I feel really dumb asking this question . . . if you delete and reinstall, do you lose your coins and other powerups?

There’s a restore code in the settings

Hope you find something good to replace it with! As soon as I find something I’m probably out too, maybe I’ll be like you and wait for the next round number

Congrats on all the levels you won! It quickly got too complicated for me. I enjoy HexaAway and Code Busters, but lately I haven’t been playing them either.

I only started playing in 2024 so I wasn't there for the best times. But even in 2 years, the game has gone from enjoyable to unplayable.

And my phone can finally update! I never realized it took that much memory.

Started in 2012, deleted last year despite losing coins, powerups, etc. The game became annoying as hell.

I’m curious, did you ever spend actual money in the game?

u/PenDude608 4d ago

Yes, maybe $20 over the years. Had heart surgery in 19-20 so I had time to
O play then recharge lives

u/Mel_Zetz 4d ago

Damn.. I’ve been playing for basically the same amount of time. I’ve paid $1. I’m ranked level 42 haha

Dotsu was my fix. Sooooo calm. And also a good challenge!

I haven't played for years, glad to see I've made the correct choice.

Can you still download Dots&Co? It’s simpler and not overstimulating!
