Our take on Soundodger 2
The editor and older community-level support add user-created material alongside the hand-crafted levels and new soundtrack. These options broaden the available music and levels, while the central activity remains dodging hazards timed to songs.
What is Soundodger 2?
Soundodger 2 is a music game built around avoiding hazards timed to songs.
Players weave through patterns of bullets, lasers, and other challenges in hand-crafted levels, or make levels for their own music with the editor. Challenge modes add tasks such as managing mirrored versions of the player, guiding a line of followers, and avoiding giant bullets that fill the arena. Practice mode, power-ups, and multiple difficulty levels offer different ways to approach songs. Game mods can change the rules, including by enlarging bullets, speeding up the music, adding gravity, or making one hit end a run. The game also supports older Soundodger+ community levels and offers mouse, keyboard, and controller input.
