About Dot Crusher

Set against a vibrant digital backdrop, you'll find yourself confronted with a unique playing field comprising two sturdy planks. Nestled in mid-air, a ball awaits your command, poised to embark on an exhilarating journey. Your mission is to click on the ball with your mouse,

Tips and tricks
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Because this is a Skills game, practise the hardest input in isolation before you attempt a full run.
