The game play in City Dodge is incredibly simple to get to grips with. All you need do is move your onscreen avatar from side to side and get them in the spot with the most space. So, when the wall comes tumbling down you survive and don’t become squished.
You control your character by moving from side to side. In the controls you can set this either by tapping right or left or by swiping with your finger. Both methods work incredibly well, so it’s as much about choosing the method you prefer than anything else.

The graphics and design of the game have a fun and youthful look to them. For example, when you character survives with ease, he’ll pull a pose, if it’s a little tricker then he’ll shows signs of sweating. It’s these little touches that add a flourish to the game.

The game starts out quite slow and finding the best location to survive the round is easy. However, things do quickly start to speed up as the shape of the terrain changes and the time you have to move reduces.

To help you on your way there are hints, which you can tap at any time and a pointing hand will show you the best space to aim for. As with most endless rolling games of this sort there are also Hearts you can collect that allow you to carry on playing after you’ve ben defeated.
