Reviews for "Dodgin Beats: Sonic"

This is great!

Omg! This is really amazing! I love this game!
Not like just those random avoid games, but this one goes to the beat of the music.
And how the instruments determine which side it'll come from (:
I really like it~ A little hard d: but I like it~

JordanKinsley responds:

Yes! That's exactly the idea! Different instruments throw out different baddies. The angle from which they are to be thrown out at you is a mystery though. Makes you stay on your toes. :) Thanks for the review. I made sure that some songs were easier than others, and I left one song for the hard core gamers on here too. If you want to play a similar game that is easier then you should check out Droppin Beats 2. That is the easiest version of this game I have made. Many thanks for the review!

Amazing

This is my second review in about 8 years of coming to this site, so I hope that says something about how special this game is. Okay, honestly, it is probably due to the nostalgia points and love I have for the o.g. sonic stuff. I like the difficulty and the controls. Straight in the veins, no bs dodging game. The music selection is top notch. Though it seems simple, the game is balanced well enough that, with some practice and memorization of songs and patterns, the extreme difficulty is able to be completed.
**small bugs to note:
when you start up the extreme level, the display shows "chemical something, moderate". Also, what is the reasoning behind putting the hardest level in between the moderate ones?

overall, great game... simple and to the point. there is absolutely no replay value, once you beat a song you're pretty much done with it. i'm not sure what you could do to fix that, perhaps achievements or powerups (these would be weird)

JordanKinsley responds:

Thank you for such a wonderful review. It's helpful and to the point. The reason the extreme level is smack dab in the middle is because we predestined the order of the songs, and later on we never really seem interested in changing it around, but that is good to note.

The idea of creating replay value does seem hard, but it could be done!! I will see what I can do next time I create another dodgin beats. Thanks again for your review!

a review!

great,but you should have put ice cap zone.Thats one of the best.

Good game

I agree with megagrounder, but you have flying battery zone, the next best thing.

Good

Yea this is a good game. I always like 8-bit style games the graphics are perfect for that and the music is good too.
suggestions:
adding more songs
also watch for holes in your songs, because I was able to get through half the songs with a shield and sitting in the upper left corner. Idk how the units are spawning but if they spawn to the notes specifically you might want to add a boundary.
Only reason Im writing a review becasue it looks like you actually read them

JordanKinsley responds:

Indeed I do read my reviews. Problem with syncing more songs is that the file size becomes insanely large and after putting in so many songs it takes a long time to test each export. As far as the holes in the songs the notes are randomly generated, so the location that the note pops out is unpredictable, sometimes u can stay up in a corner and be perfectly fine, but that is less than likely to happen. Thanks you for reviewing.
