Command a colony of dots in a real-time war for the map. Send your swarm to gather crystals, bank them into upgrades — strength, speed, hit points, fertility, intelligence — and turn a handful of dots into an army that overruns the rival nests.
Computer-steered colonies learn how to win, and keep improving from past matches played by the best human and AI colonies. The AI recognises players by their hash ID, their reputation, the strategies they have won with, and the strategies other colonies beat them with. You can regenerate your ID and start from a clean slate at any time.
Upgrading intelligence gives your dots new skills in foraging, attacking and defending. They choose targets better, mass together before attacking, and flee when they are outnumbered.
Order your squads to gather, defend, raid or lay siege. Plant rally flags that pour concrete fortifications, raise forward pylons manned by snipers, and build flying drones that soar over water and rock. Sign a peace treaty when you are outnumbered — then decide when to break it. Every rival is different: four tribes with real trade-offs, and an AI that learns the winning strategy for each map from every player who beats it.
Play solo, fight through the world campaign, or open a room and battle up to four friends in one shared world. Dot Rivals is free and runs in your browser — it needs JavaScript, so please enable it to play.
