How to play DotFootball

The rules explain themselves in half a minute, and mastering bounces and traps feels as satisfying as a real tactical game.

Move the ball

You take turns moving the ball one dot in one of eight directions, drawing a line. A line once drawn can’t be used again.

Use the bounces

When the ball bounces off the boundary, a post, or a visited dot, you keep playing. Bounces let you build spectacular, multi-step plays.

Score goals

A goal is scored when the ball hits exactly the center of the goal line. Whoever reaches the set number of goals first wins.

Three game modes

Play against the computer, share a single phone, or lead your national team through an entire tournament.

Play vs. the computer

Three difficulty levels with an increasingly deep-thinking opponent.

  • Easy – a friendly start for new players
  • Medium – challenging but balanced
  • Expert – a real challenge for tacticians

Two-player game

The classic “me vs. a friend” on one phone, just like in a notebook back in the day.

  • Alternating turns on one device
  • A per-round timer for each player
  • A match to a set number of goals

Championship mode

Play in a full tournament format with a group stage and a knockout stage.

  • Groups, then round of 16, quarterfinal, semifinal, and final
  • Over 30 national teams of varying strength
  • You lead one team through the entire tournament

What sets DotFootball apart

A nostalgic classroom game with a modern look and the depth of a real tactical game.

Nostalgia with a modern look

The same game generations of students played, only always at hand and with clean, attractive graphics.

Bounce mechanics – the heart of the game

Chains of bounces off posts and boundaries create spectacular plays leading to a goal – that’s what makes it addictive and sets it apart from tic-tac-toe.

Easy to learn, hard to win

You’ll learn the rules in under a minute, but mastering traps and blocking your opponent takes real tactics.

A rich Championship mode

Groups and a knockout stage with over 30 national teams give the game the context of a real tournament, something simple puzzle games lack.

Ready for the world

Fully localized into 30 languages, and the game works offline with no account needed.
