Dodge Everything

About Dodge Everything

Dodge Everything is a chaotic arcade game where you control a pixel-sized block in a relentless survival challenge. Developed by MRVX-STUDIOS and released in December 2025, it drops you into a virtual grid arena where an AI fires endless waves of projectiles at your tiny avatar. The goal? Dodge everything that moves. With no multiplayer mode, the focus is pure single-player action. You navigate using simple controls, collect power-ups to survive longer, and unlock new skins and levels as you climb leaderboards. The concept is simple but punishing, perfect for short bursts of frantic gameplay. Think of it like Geometry Dash meets endless runner, but with a dystopian twist.

Gameplay

The game is all about reflexes and timing. You move your block using arrow keys or WASD, dodging bullets, lasers, and other hazards that flood the screen in unpredictable patterns. Each wave increases the difficulty, forcing you to anticipate tighter corridors and faster attacks. Power-ups like shields or speed boosts offer temporary relief but require precise collection. The AI adapts as you progress, altering attack sequences to counter your strategies. Sessions are short, most last under five minutes, but the high-score mechanic keeps you coming back for one more try. Unlocking new skins and levels adds a light RPG element, but the core remains raw, twitch-based challenge. It’s not deep, but it’s brutally addictive.

What Players Think

With a 92% critic score and an average playtime of 4.2 hours, Dodge Everything has split audiences. Enthusiasts praise its "addictive simplicity," while others call it "repetitive." Community moods skew polarized: 68% of players report frustration, 29% excitement. The game’s 100% completion rate takes 12 hours, but 70% of players abandon it after the first hour. Positive reviews highlight the "perfect mobile-adjacent rush," while critics mock the lack of content beyond the core loop. With 42 achievements (avg. 35 earned per player), it rewards persistence but offers little beyond the initial high-score grind.

PlayPile's Take

Dodge Everything is a $14.99 microtransaction if you thrive on quick, punishing challenges. It’s ideal for players who enjoy rhythm-based reflex games like Thumper or Flappy Bird. The AI’s adaptive difficulty is a neat gimmick, but the lack of meaningful progression or variety softens its impact. If you’re looking for depth, skip it. But if you crave a game that’ll test your reaction time in under five minutes, it’s a solid pick. Just don’t expect to stay interested past the first dozen high scores.

Storyline

In the near future a defense AI is trained inside a virtual grid arena. Simple test avatars are spawned and targeted with endless patterns of projectiles so the system can learn how to eliminate anything that moves. You are one of these avatars, a tiny block of code that refuses to be deleted. The longer you survive, the more data you steal from the AI and the more dangerously it adapts to you.
