Small games for odd moments.

Little phone games for the few spare minutes you didn't plan for: waiting on dinner, a long line, the couch. They work offline, need no account, and never pop up an ad in your face.

The house rules

  • Nothing pops upNo ads between rounds, nothing that makes you wait, nothing locked behind "watch an ad".
  • Plays offlineOn a plane, in a basement bar, anywhere the signal gives up.
  • No accountsOpen it and play. Your progress stays on your phone.
  • Short on purposeA game fits in the time it takes for the food to come out.

Dot Awkward started with two people, one phone and a lot of waiting for dinner. It's a one-person studio making the kind of games we actually play.
