Dots: Perimeter
Outsmart. Encircle. Win.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Play the classic paper-and-pencil strategy game online with friends — async, in your own time. Surround your opponent's dots to capture territory.
Dots: Perimeter is a polished mobile take on the classic paper-and-pencil dots game (also known as Kropki or Точки) — a deceptively deep abstract strategy game that's been played on graph-paper notebooks for generations.
Place dots on grid intersections, take turns with your opponent, and try to surround their dots with a closed chain of your own. Every dot you trap inside the chain is captured and counts toward your score. Whoever controls more captured dots when the board fills up wins.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
• Async-first. Make a move, close the app, come back when your friend plays. Push notifications let you know it's your turn.
• No clocks, no pressure. Take five seconds or five hours per move — your call.
• Pure strategy. No dice, no luck, no power-ups. Every win is earned.
• Polished hand-drawn aesthetic. The board feels like graph paper; chains are wobbly pen strokes; shaded territory looks like soft pencil fill.
PLAY HOW YOU LIKE
• Online with a friend — share a 6-letter code to start a match.
• Practice against the AI for a quick game.
• Hot-seat — pass one device back and forth.
THEMES (Optional)
The default Notebook theme is yours free, with cream paper and classic red/blue ink. If you want a different look, optional theme packs change the entire app's aesthetic:
• Blackboard — chalk on slate
• Blueprint — architect-grid white-on-blue
• Parchment — aged paper, sepia ink
Themes are cosmetic only. They never affect gameplay.
WHAT'S INCLUDED FREE
• The full game (all rules, AI, online play)
• Interactive tutorial that teaches you the mechanics in five short lessons
• Match history across devices (sign in is automatic — no email required)
