Our take on Dodge Dummy
Rather than adding quests, combat, or exploration to its adventure label, the game reduces the structure to forward movement and two avoidance actions. Its main variation comes from increasing difficulty and the pursuit of a longer run or higher score.
What is Dodge Dummy?
Dodge Dummy is a side-scrolling game about a Dummy running through a landscape filled with circular saws and pillars.
The main actions are jumping and sliding, which allow the character to avoid obstacles while continuing forward. The game becomes progressively more difficult the farther the run goes. The objective is to travel as far as possible without being hit and to reach a high score. Each attempt centers on reacting to hazards, maintaining forward progress, and extending the distance covered. The game does not describe quests, combat, puzzles, or other activities beyond running and avoiding obstacles.
