What is ChaosDot?
A neon arcade game about a single glowing dot — controlled with just one button.
ChaosDot is a one-button arcade game that runs entirely on an HTML5 canvas in the browser. You control a single glowing dot and have just one core input: the tap. Tap to survive as the chaos escalates second by second — and chase the highest possible highscore.
The game describes itself as a "chaotic one-button arcade game with bosses, skill tree and skins". A tap means something different depending on the mode: in GRAVITY it flips gravity, in DODGE it makes the dot dash toward the tap, in RESIST you tap green traps on purpose, and in PIXEL you select safe zones. The entire game emerges from this single gesture.
On touch devices, DODGE, boss fights, and story scenarios additionally feature a virtual joystick (on by default, can be disabled). On desktop, control is via WASD, a freely assignable tap key (default: Q), and spacebar or arrow-up. There is deliberately no classic experience or level-up system for the player — progress instead runs through story chapters, quests, the Season Pass, achievements, collectibles, and a Skill tree.

Fully translated interface with English as fallback.
German
English
Spanish

Italian
ChaosDot ships with exactly six languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Russian and Italian. The language can be switched live in the settings at any time; if a text is missing, English automatically serves as fallback. Your language choice is intentionally preserved even if you completely reset your save.
Menus and texts are available in all six languages. The optional spoken story narration is currently only available in English — the written texts remain in your chosen language.
Platform & Technology
Runs in the browser, saves locally — with an optional cloud account.
Local plus cloud
Your progress is saved locally in the browser (with IndexedDB as additional backup). An optional account — as a guest, with username and password, or via one-time recovery codes — syncs it across mobile, browser and desktop.
Android & Desktop
Neben the browser-Version are in the Build native Verpackungen for Android (Capacitor) and for Desktop and Steam (Electron) angelegt; als Abrechnungsplattformen are Play, Steam and Web beforegesehen.
Note
The browser version requires an active internet connection: if no connection is available, an offline notice hides the game until you are back online. Pure offline caching (Service Worker) is not included in this build.
Play for free
Free-to-play, funded through optional ads.
ChaosDot is free, and nothing of the actual game is behind a paywall. It is funded through optional, rewarded video ads: if you want, you can voluntarily watch a full ad and receive a revive (one death less) or a Dots reward. In the native app versions, this web advertising is skipped.
Zusätzlich is a optionaler Echtgeld-Store in the game angelegt, standardmäßig but abgeschaltet. the sichtbare Store-Oberfläche is a Vorschau — ihre purchase-Buttons melden lediglich „STORE NOT AVAILABLE in PREVIEW". the dahinterliegende, serverseitige Bezahlmodul (Dot-Pakete sowie werbefreie- and Premium-unlocks) ruht, solange it not serverseitig aktiviert is/will.
