Dot Dodge
About Dot Dodge
A shield rotates around a fixed centre and dots close in from the outside, one after another, from angles you do not choose. Spinning the shield to meet each dot is simple in isolation; the difficulty is that the next one is already on its way from somewhere else, so a rotation made too early leaves the wrong side exposed. Speed rises the longer you survive, and the runs that end are usually the ones where you over-rotated to a threat that had not arrived yet. The screen never shows more than it has to, which keeps the read purely about angle and timing.
How to Play
- Click or tap to rotate the shield around the centre.
- Turn to meet each incoming dot at the moment it arrives, not before.
- Track where the next dot is coming from while you are still blocking the current one.
- Keep going as long as you can — the speed climbs continuously and the score is your survival time.
Dot Dodge FAQ
Why do I keep failing right after a successful block?
Over-rotation. Swinging the shield too far past a blocked dot leaves the opposite side open, and at higher speeds the following dot is usually already in flight when you commit to the turn.
