About

Connect stars. Claim your cosmos.

Astral Dots brings the classic Dots and Boxes game to a quiet cosmic world. Draw a line between neighboring stars, complete a box to claim it, and earn another turn. Win more boxes than Cosmic AI to clear the stage.

Explore 50 stages across five chapters. Start with smaller constellations and work toward larger boards and stronger opponents. Win to unlock the next stage, replay cleared stages, and resume your saved game.

Challenge a nearby friend in Bluetooth VS Mode on two iPhones. Create a match on one phone and find it on the other. No account or internet connection is needed for the match. Both phones must allow Bluetooth and keep the app open. Cross-platform play is not supported.

Your lines glow cyan; your opponent uses yellow dashed lines. Illustrated How to play examples show who claims a box and how capturing boxes earns extra turns.
