DotDodge

DotDodge was my first game, made in 2020. This is a remake for the browser: same game, same missiles, same timings, rebuilt from scratch with crisp shapes, new sound and a lot more feel.

How it works

You're the white dot. Seven homing missiles join the chase one by one over 120 seconds. A blinking arrow on the wall shows where each one will burst in, and every new one is faster and turns tighter than the last. Survive until the timer hits 0 and you win.

Your dot has momentum. It slides, bounces off the walls and takes a moment to turn around, so plan your escapes and use the walls.

The last stage is tricky. Spikes start sliding along the top and bottom walls, and there's one hidden key that helps. You'll find out which one when you get there.

Controls

• WASD or arrow keys to move
• Phones and tablets: drag anywhere to steer
• Esc or P to pause, R to restart, M to mute

New in the remake

• Plays in the browser on desktop and phones, in landscape or portrait
• Squash and stretch, trails, screen shake, stage banners, and proper game over and win screens
• New sound effects and music, all synthesised in the browser
• Fixed the slow-mo bug (it lasted about 50 seconds instead of 5) and the sticky wall bounces
• Your best run is saved
