Connect

Connect is a connect the dots game. Each dot on the screen has a number, and when you connect two dots they cancel out each other's number. This means that if you connect a 4 and a 2 you will be left with a 2 and a 0. A dot that is out of numbers cannot be connected to anything. If you want to undo a connection, draw a line through the middle of the connection to sever it. The game has a 60 second time limit since it was designed for a mochimedia (R.I.P.) contest.

My opinion: I really enjoyed the concept for this game. Interestingly I think it's biggest weakness is the time limit, despite the fact that the idea of making a 60 second game was what motivated it's creation. The time limit means that the only way you'll really beat the game is by memorizing the solutions instead of solving them as you go. I think it each puzzle had it's own individual time limit the game would be way better, since you would still have a sense of urgency without the game being constrained the way it is currently. The puzzles are still fun and I'd love to see a larger version of this game made and put on ios and android.

Connect is by Amidos. You can find it here.
