You are the blue dot. Dodge red dots! Green dots clear the board.

Use your arrow keys to move left and right. 

Good luck, Dotful Dodger!

I love minimalist game design so much akfhbakfnhvkdj-

This is some absolutely brilliant work, just the right amount of player limitations to make for an interesting challenge. Never thought what's essentially a turn-based bullet hell could work, but you managed to do it through design by subtraction in a wonderful way. I'm in awe!

Also, is that in the description the entire source code for the game? Absolute insanity.

Got to 256! That is quite a delightful game and I love the aesthetic of the game over screen

Thanks for playing! Great score

Very cool implementation of a complex idea in a simple form. It's Super Dot. ðŸ˜‰

Thank you!!

I found it funny when you understand what you need to do. You need to be careful with your movement decisions. It's quite nice. Congrats!
