Bigger Dot

Introduce

Bigger Dot drops you into a vast living arena where cells grow, chase, and risk being swallowed. When your blob is larger than a rival, you can absorb them and keep climbing in size. Skillful movement is how you grow quickly—food and smaller cells ahead of you are opportunities, while careless wandering turns you into someone else's meal.

Everything in front of you can become mass if you outsize it. To stay large for longer, eat steadily and avoid feeding careless pieces to bigger hunters. Join the seasonal community on the online leaderboard: register a display name, track peak score and rank, and keep pushing toward the top of each season table.

How to play

Rely on the control pad to steer your cells. Use M-pad to aim toward a point on the screen, or switch to C-pad for a floating stick—touch anywhere empty to place the stick at your finger, drag to steer, and lift to snap back to the default corner. On Mac and desktop, the same pads work with a pointer or trackpad, so you can keep one hand on movement while you glance at the minimap and rank strip.

Hunt food and bots, absorb what you can overpower, and keep your mass safe. You can split into multiple pieces to move faster and catch prey more easily. You can also eject mass to hoard bait, open a path, or deceive other cells. When you eat an explosive splitter, you may break into several parts depending on your size—be careful if you are small, because a dangerous splitter can swallow you instead.

Brown splitters grow from food around the map. Green splitters punish giants that gulp them without caution. Learn the rhythm of chase, escape, and regroup after every split. After a hard fight, pause briefly at the edge of the map, let distant pieces drift back together when the mode allows it, then re-enter the crowded centre only when you have a clear size advantage.

Tips for longer runs

Stay near clusters of food while you are small, and only challenge another cell when you clearly outsize it. After you split, protect the largest piece first—losing the main mass often ends the run faster than losing a scout. Use ejected mass as bait near a green splitter only when you can escape the blast radius. In Time Attack, favour dense food lanes over long chases; in Hardcore, treat every split as permanent territory you must defend.

Features

• Massive arena — eat food and smaller rivals to grow
• Four modes — Classic, Time Attack, Hardcore, Bot Battle
• Split and eject mass — chase prey or escape giants
• Brown and green splitters with unique arena behavior
• Customize dot style — outline, body color, core shape
• Live leaderboard, session stats, and eight languages

Tips

• Give your cell a distinctive outline, colour and core shape so you can find it quickly in a crowded arena.
• Try both controllers: M-pad aims at a point on screen, while C-pad places a floating stick wherever you touch.
• Time Attack lasts three minutes, so stay near dense food rather than chasing one rival across the map.

What's new

This update makes every leaderboard fair and transparent. • Rankings now list only scores submitted by real players. Computer-controlled opponents remain for practice and challenge, but their results never appear on the board. • Changing your nickname keeps your existing scores and rank instead of starting over. • Suggested nicknames are freshly generated and are never borrowed from other players. In Bigger Dot, arena bots now use names that ship with the game. The live rank strip during a match still shows every cell in the arena, while the season leaderboard lists only real players. Classic, Time Attack, Hardcore and Bot Battle play exactly as before. Thanks for playing — every score you see now comes from a real person.
