Place dots, connect five in a row, win the match.
Beat a smart on-device AI across three difficulty levels
No ads, no accounts, no internet needed.
dot5 is a beautifully minimal strategy game about one simple, timeless idea: be the first to connect five dots in a row.
Take turns placing your dots on the grid — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Every move is a tiny decision that quietly builds into a winning line, or blocks
your opponent’s. Win a round to score a point. Score five points to win the match.
Built from the ground up for iPhone with native SwiftUI, dot5 is designed for
the way you actually play: one-handed on the commute, in a waiting room, or
between tasks. Fast to open, calm to play, easy to put down.
WHY YOU’LL LIKE IT
• Easy to learn, endlessly replayable
Five minutes to understand the rules. Years to master the lines you don’t see.
• A thinking AI that actually thinks
A Core ML powered opponent with three difficulty levels — Easy, Medium, Hard.
The AI runs entirely on device. No servers. No latency. No data leaves your phone.
• Your choice of tempo
Play untimed, or add a per-move timer (10s / 20s / 30s) to turn calm strategy
into fast, nerve-tightening duels.
• Match format, not just single games
Every round is worth one point. First to five points wins the match. The format
rewards both short tactical bursts and long-game consistency.
• Statistics that matter
Track matches played, matches completed, wins and losses per difficulty,
and your recent history, all stored locally on your device.
• Built-in interactive tutorial
A friendly step-by-step onboarding teaches the grid, the goal, how dots connect,
how the timer works, and how the AI plays.
• Modern Apple design
Clean typography. Native haptics. Light and dark mode. Full Dynamic Type
and accessibility support. No clutter, no pop-ups, no paywalls mid-game.
• Available in 16 languages
English, Italian, French, German, Spanish (Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Chile,
Colombia), Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal), Turkish, Greek, Finnish, Swedish,
Norwegian, Danish, and more.
WHAT’S NOT IN DOT5
No ads. No trackers. No accounts. No internet connection required.
No loot boxes. No lives. No energy bars. No in-app purchases in your face.
Just you, a grid, and the next five dots.
PERFECT FOR
• The commute, the waiting room, and the 3-minute coffee timer
• Players who love chess, Go, Gomoku, Connect 4, or Renju
• Anyone who wants a daily brain workout without shouty animations
