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 you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.
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 any major downsides. Even the one that comes to mind, the music, isn't that bad and can be muted. I suppose one "downside" is that this game isn't for practicing gamer dodging in general. Again, the box we control teleports when we move rather than moving with an apparent speed, so this is not the candid practice program for improving at platformers and Rogue-likes that I admit I had at one point hoped it would be.
Replay value mostly comes from the gratification of dodging in each respective challenge. I haven't played in a while; when I eventually do, I already envision reintroducing myself to that sheer gratification of success.
On its own price, I can recommend this game, as if you like what it has to offer it can give you gratification outlasting the lifespan of a Kit Kat bar which costs roughly the same price.
I do however think for what relatively little the game offers - no offense, Yokcos - it is more fair to wait until there is a sale.
i mainly use it for warmup for csgo comp
good.
Want to see how good your reaction times are? Then play this.
See how long you last vs. your friends on "infinite" mode.
Not recommended its suck not fun and my antivirus reacts on it so i cant play it and i have norton security please dont but it!
Mediocre game while it worked. But now I can't even start it no matter what I do.
2/10
Insane difficulty.
Damn this game is hard and frustrating :)
6/10
A short, casual little game. Short but entertaining. Suprisingly more difficult than i had expected! Has potential to be a much bigger game.
A dramatically easy game to play and complete 100%. There isn't really enough content to be considered a game and I don't think this game is worth any money. I think there should be more content before I can recommend the game.
Review originally posted at Apoch's Metal Review.
Despite all the advancements in gaming today, the indie development world still manages to turn out some fairly simple games for those looking for a breather from the big name franchises of today. This is the case with Dodge, an Action/Puzzle style title from independent publisher and developer named Yokcos. According to the official blog, it's a game that was "crafted in forty eight hours" through Game Maker, as well as SFXR to create the audio. The venture has received a fair deal of praise from users and the media alike for being an example of "minimalism" in a complicated world, but does Dodge have anything to offer gamers today, or is it actually something far more pointless?
Dodge is, by all accounts, a truly minimalistic experience. The core concept is simple: Avoid the incoming obstacles. You are presented a limited grid and are allowed to move frequently on it, as well as move off the edge to appear on the opposite side. There's also two different ways to play. The main allure is "Infinity", which is essentially a survival mode that pits you on a three-by-three field against various obstacles such as the bullets and random lines that can block your path to safety. There's also various short levels you can tackle, forcing you to stay alive until a rich block outline appears, which you need to let make contact with you in order to finish the stage. There is a total of thirty of those short stages.
Pretty much everything about this game screams the early days of Intellivision and Atari 2600 titles, just with a crisp presentation and a limited .MIDI soundtrack that sounds like a Punk song turned eight-bit against simple effects. The other dramatic alteration is more of a cosmetic one that lies within the Options menu, which manipulates the colors on screen. You have your traditional black and white/white and black appearance, but there's also a "changing hues", "rainbow", both of which are about the same thing, and finally "seizure", complete with a justified warning due to the intense strobe light effect it creates.
But, all this said, is it fun? Well, it all depends. Are you looking for something relatively simple but with a growing difficulty curve? If so, then Dodge is something you'll get a kick out of. The main killing point is that this release costs two dollars US at this point. While it does offer a good amount of replay value thanks to "Infinity" mode, the game itself does get incredibly repetitive pretty quick. Plus, knowing it was developed in forty-eight hours does make you feel as though you're being a bit overcharged. If you're tired of long, convoluted stories with complex controls and just want something simple you can pick up and play, Dodge is worth grabbing, though worth waiting for a sale on if you can't justify paying the full price given the aforementioned blog post description dismissing an extensive development regime.
Overall Score: 6.5/10
Not worth two bucks. I give props to the people that put this together in 24 hours or whatever at Ludum Dare, but I have buyers remorse.
I've just bought that game and I have already beat it. It is good and fun but as for me it too easy and short. I wish they added some new levels in future updates.
There is also an infinty mode but it just get bored after some time
Really good fun
I beat the 30 levels in under an hour, most of the levels are fairly easy but some of them are extremely hard.
A fun and difficult game. Not an extremely large amount of content but good replay value and a good challenge.
Good casual game. Easy to understand. Could be expanded upon a lot. Gets a little boring after a while though. Overall 7/10
