★★★★☆ Deven · Nov 27, 2011
Great game interface I tired a number of different dot and box games. This one took time to consider the user interface and how to correctly place you line.
★★★★★ J.C. · Jan 22, 2010

★★☆☆☆ Christian · Jun 4, 2010
Needs control options, like putting finger between dots to create lines, more skins, ads get in the way during the game
