Meh...

It's got a few problems. No music, no sound effects, every time I moved it would go slow. MUSIC. It's the thing that keeps people on games like this. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's soooooo quite.

Review

Pros:
The menu looks quite good, although I'm not completely sure if you created the "Dodge" logo, and I'm assuming you didn't due to lack of transparency, but I like it.
This game is a good time waster if you need to waste about 10 minutes or so, but probably no more than that.

Cons:
It wasn't really that fun. It doesn't have any music, or any sound once so ever. Although it may not seem like it, sound is a big deal and really decreases the boringness of a flash. If you're going to release an updated version of this flash, I defiantly recommend that you add upbeat music too make it more fun.

The background is for the most part a bland and boring black background, with a pumpkin in the center, and the enemies, or whatever you would like too call them, are just a black too green gradient so it partly blends in with the background. In my opinion you should change it so that they're more visible at all times.

I tried out the multiplayer, and it just seems as if it's only a higher difficulty instead of an actual multiplayer. Generally when you think of a Multiplayer game you think going against each other too see who can get the highest score or last the longest, but on here it just adds another player and makes it slightly harder because then you have double the chance of losing. I believe you should either take it out completely or make it so that you're going against each other.

As I mentioned in my "Pros", I really like the "Dodge" logo, but if you didn't make it I don't think you should use it. It doesn't look good on the background due to lack of transparency. The buttons in the menu also look a bit stretched out and they're very low quality. On the subject of graphics, I know for a fact you didn't make the character you play as. I've seen it many many times before. I'm not saying you stole this flash or anything, but in my opinion it would be better if you did make your own graphics as it usually actually looks better.

Needs work

The game slowing down when keys are pressed seems like a technical flaw to me, and I was disappointed that there was no highscore registration - simple games like these are played for scores, but if they aren't even registered, what's the point? Plz use mochiscores or similar in the next version.

There were a few problems,

Biggest one is whenever you move your smily face guy, the entire game slows down from lag and the green balls move epicly slow, taking away the hardness factor. Also My guy was in the top left corner and the balls were going through him.

decent game

the concept for this game is good, you just need to add more features, like music, increased difficulty, or something like that. the only problem i had with it was the fact that everything slowed down when you moved
