Dodge (2015)

I admit dodging has yet to become my forte in gaming. Ironic, as it's undeniably one of the most important skills for action games. Thankfully here is a game which focuses just on it, and it does this job well. Projectiles come at a speed, with new ones that behave differently coming as the challenges mount, and you have a box you can teleport about a grid. Teleport it out of the way in time. Even - and perhaps especially - with such a simple gameplay premise, the game is, at least for me, involving to play, and as it gets more intense, the frustrations of failure- and the gratifications of success - do as well. Even with the minimalism, the smoothness of projectile speed, the teleportation of the box you control, and visual effects add a cinematic aspect to the gameplay. Some pulse-pounding synth music comes along as an option as well. I don't have much opinion for or against these; I tried it with a couple and then just muted the music. However, for those who like synth music I can imagine it to compound the aesthetics to truly boost the intensity of the experience. With how simple this game is, Murphy's law doesn't have a lot to go on; I can say I don't think of there being …

A simple and plain dodging game. There are no unnecessary visual elements, just what is required to stimulate your visual analysis and reflexes. Probably you will not spend tens of hours playing this game, but It surely has a replay value for some casual dodging. This game is listed inthe PureVideoGames group.

Feels like a mobile game but for a buck or two, it's not bad.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

Minimalist reaction-speed game like Super-hexagon or flappy bird. A handful of new mechanics get added as the difficulty increases, but nothing too curve-ball-ey.
