About Goal Dot
Goal Dot is a football puzzle game that mixes penalty kicks with a game of connect the dots. A wall with a four by four grid of holes stands in front of you. Aim with the target, kick, and the hole you hit lights up in your colour. Your rival kicks next and fills holes in red.
The first player to connect enough dots in a straight row or column wins the level. Levels need two, three or four dots in a row, so you have to think about where to kick as well as how well you aim: build your own line and block your rival's before it gets too long. The rival finds perfect kicks more often as the levels go up. The wall stands in front of full stands that cheer each of your dots, and the venue changes every two levels: a training ground, a city stadium, a sunset derby, a floodlit night cup, a beach pitch and a snow bowl.
Wins earn coins that unlock eight colours for your ball and dots, from Ocean and Sunshine to Bubblegum and Shadow, and two upgrades: Rival Nerves makes the rival's perfect kicks rarer, and Coin Bonus raises your reward. Goal Dot runs on phones, tablets and computers with no download.

How to play Goal Dot
- Tap Start. The bar at the top shows how many dots you need to connect this level.
- Move your finger or mouse to place the target on a hole, then release to kick the ball at it.
- The hole you hit turns your colour. Then your rival takes a kick.
- Connect the number of dots shown in a straight row or column before your rival does to win.
Controls
- Computer
- Move the mouse to aim at a hole and click to kick.
- Phone and tablet
- Touch and slide to move the target onto a hole, then lift your finger to kick.
Tips
- The ball flies to where the target is when you let go, so line it up carefully before you release.
- When your rival has two dots next to each other, kick into the hole that would complete their line.
- Start your line in the middle of the grid: it can grow in either direction.
- Rows and columns count, diagonals do not.
