Bit late in making a post on this, but I\u2019ll do it anyway.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dodge<\/a> is my entry to Ludum Dare 26. After receiving a few feedback comments about it, I can now analyze the merits and problems with this game:<\/p>\n

Merits:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It runs on a very simple concept: Dodge enemies. However, you are limited to motion in a very small area (There are only 9 possible places you can be).<\/p>\n

The graphical style certainly fits the theme of minimalism. As much as I despise the theme, I think it\u2019s brought out some of the best in my graphical ability.<\/p>\n

I seem to find it difficult to resist playing again after failure. And seeing as one playthrough usually takes under a minute, it\u2019s very hard not to. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s just me though.<\/p>\n

Pitfalls:<\/strong><\/p>\n

By far the main complaint I receive is that the sounds are too harsh. I agree with this (althouhgh I can\u2019t fathom why they don\u2019t just turn the sound down.)<\/p>\n

Also, it\u2019s a bit lacking in content and variety. Even though there are three difficulty levels to try, it still becomes repetitive fairly quickly. (Again, not sure if it\u2019s just me.)<\/p>\n

Do feel free to give it a go<\/a>, if you so desire. I\u2019ll see you again next Ludum Dare (Or the one after.)<\/p>","time":"May 1st, 2013 2:36 am","title":"Dodge","title_was_empty":false}
