Reviews

Introduction

Shots And Dots is a game for the iPhone and iPad which is highly reminiscent of the old-school NES games, except it has a realistic physics engine that makes for an even more fun gaming experience.

This app will equip you with a large cannon and a limited number of cannonballs for each round, and you must fire these cannonballs at a bunch of dots to pop them.

The objective of this game is to pop as many dots as possible.

There are two game modes in this app: Moves mode and Timed mode, which make for fun and interesting gameplay options. Only a single level is available from each of the modes when you begin playing.

The Moves Mode is where you are provided with a limited number of cannonballs to shoot at the dots, and there’s no time limit.

The Moves Mode necessitates that you pop a certain percentage of dots from the level in order to proceed. When you successfully finish a level, the next one will unlock automatically.

The Timed mode is where you must pop all the dots on the board within a limited period of time, but you are given unlimited cannonballs, though the number of cannonballs you use will be tracked.
