Dodge Step gameplay: the avatar sidesteps falling shapes across three lanes while the score and combo climb

Calm hands, sharp timing

Shapes fall down three lanes. You only get a small step sideways, so the skill is waiting. Staying still while danger is on screen builds Composure; dodging at the very last moment scores a Clutch. Move too early, or twitch, and you leave points on the table.

Late-dodge scoring

Every dodge is graded Early, Good, Perfect or Clutch based on how late you moved. Clutch dodges are worth ten times an Early one.

Composure meter

Holding still while a threat falls fills your composure for a bigger multiplier. Twitching costs it.

Combo up to x7

Chain graded dodges to build a combo multiplier. Miss the rhythm and it resets.

Ten rising tiers

Speed and pressure climb every 300 points. Survive tier 10 for two seconds to earn You Win.
