Dwelp

Bending Spoons Apps IVS

An elegant and delightful puzzle game that has you connecting dots.

It’s for those who enjoy solving logic puzzles at their own pace.

FREE ($1.99) For a limited time FREE ($1.99) For a limited time
Why we picked this?

Dwelp is familiar yet unique. The idea is to link same-colored dots in as few moves as possible by placing them next to each other. The catch, however, is that once two dots have been linked up, the rest of the same color will become locked in place. Each puzzle has more than one solution, but your ultimate goal is to find the one with the least amount of moves. You’re able to undo moves at any time. The game includes a total of 120 hand-crafted puzzles.

If you’re tired of the same old puzzle games, you need to download Dwelp today. It’s beautifully simple and completely satisfying.

You have to complete puzzles to move on to the next set. There’s no other way around. You won’t find any in-app purchases here.
