Master of Dodging

Master of Dodging is a reaction-based game in which you dodge enemies and their bullets to keep them from touching your hero. Its story begins in Dorply, where King Donkly rules a kingdom forced to pay tribute to five devils. The king challenges them to leave the land if humans can pass a series of levels, but after more than half a year, hundreds of brave challengers have failed to clear even one. A witch then summons heroes with different talents from parallel worlds, and the first, Dodging, arrives as a self-described parkour expert willing to take on the devils’ levels.

Chapters and modes

Story Mode is planned to span five chapters, with several levels and a boss level in each; the Early Access version has two chapters. Challenge Mode contains series of challenge levels, and completing them rewards you with strong skills.

Heroes and skills

The Early Access version has five heroes. Each has a basic skill and an ultimate skill that unlocks at level 3. You start as Dodging; other heroes can be unlocked by spending gold in the Hero Management menu, or upgraded there.

Before entering a level, you can choose two Common Skills, which you can purchase and upgrade. You can also purchase and upgrade equipment; the description says you choose two Common Skills before a level, but does not specify how many equipment pieces you can equip.

Enemies and bosses

Melee monsters have durability that falls with each impact. When it reaches zero, they are eliminated and reward you with gold. They have their own skills, except for the coconuts in Level 1-1, and you can knock them out with your skills.

Ranged monsters cannot be killed, but disappear after a while. They shoot bullets in distinct patterns: some fire without aiming, while others target you. Your skills can eliminate their bullets.

A boss waits at the end of each chapter. Each boss has several stages, and defeating one opens the next chapter. Defeating specific bosses unlocks specific pets; for example, the Chapter 1 boss unlocks your first pet.

Achievements

The game has 26 achievements to unlock. The description says the total may increase in future updates, but will be capped at 40.
