How to start developing connecting dots like game?

[sdfgsgs]

Hi,
I am new to game development, I would like to know where do I start like,
will tilemap suits here or
simple sprites or
rive animation

Also, what for background, its a gradient of colors but having a paralax kinda effect and colors are diffusing and changing with a relaxing outcome.

where dots are shown to player and player will touch the screen to join the dots.
Example in pic.

Thanks

Start by doing a few of the built-in tutorials:

Project setup

I would probably use Sprites, or maybe I’d even try implementing all of it using GUI nodes since you get picking for free.

This sounds like a shader which produces a gradient which is modified by some noise algorithm.

Sounds similar to Cosmos Lines: Cosmos Lines - Relaxing Puzzle Game

I don’t think there are any tutorials for that game. But if you have specific questions you can always ask @Insality about the game.
