I thought this was a joke. I was wrong.
NOTE: Before you read this, this is not a troll rant, it really is a review of what I thought about the game, and I can guarantee you that this game truly did deserve 1 star for each category, some even less.
After seeing these "dodger" games, I decided to see if they were any good. Naturally wanting to see the best version I downloaded Dodger 4, the latest one. Boy was I surprised.
GRAPHICS:
Well, the first thing I noticed was that the graphics are very badly drawn. The main character is a circle that flashes using the "colourise" effect. The enemies are blue and red circles that have the "rotate" effect on em. Then there are the edges, only 1 sprite per world. I would have to say this entire game is made up of about 20 sprites. All sprites are very basic and the animated ones are only animated using in-built effects. The only thing that I liked, and I use that word very loosely was the backgrounds in the later worlds, and the snow/rain effects. Even so, 1/5
SOUND:
There's not much I can say about the sound, as there are only about 4 sound effects total, and 1 song, which is a boring repetitive 5 second loop that never stops. Ever. It also seems to have an in-built GM effect like delay or reverb, making it sound like someone is hitting a box with a stick while his buddy is mucking around on a MIDI keyboard. 1/5
GAMEPLAY:
Hoo boy the gameplay. So many different possibilities! Up! Down! Left! Even right! But sorry, fans of diagonal movement will be dissapointed. As will pretty much anyone else. 1/5
STORY:
As expected, there is none. Anyone could have easily made something up at the top of their heads. Eg, "You are a blob, and you must make it through a series of mazes to rescue your captured buddy". There. That would at least get a genuine 1/5 instead of someone only clicking 1/5 because it's not possible to have 0/5. There are also no instructions on how to play, even on what to do! 1/5
INTERFACE:
Interface? Sorry mate! That word isn't in the creator's vocabulary! 1/5
If you like to save time, or even waste it, don't play this! There are literally thousands of better games to waste time on. I don't know why I even called this a game, anyone could have whipped it up in 5 minutes or less. You know, the thing is, some people make games as hobbies, and don't take it as seriously as others. This is obviously the case here. But even so, most of these people acknowledge that their games aren't of a high standard. Not the case here. I had a laugh when I read the comments on this game.
After already making 3 similar games in this series, I was expecting a little variety. I'm truly wondering what the first 3 games are like compared to this, as I can't imagine anything less basic, less boring and less irritating than this.

Actually it was our first decent game. I agree with you on some parts, but you have to think, this was our first real game. We are making a much better game now. Trust me, it is much better. It is a pokemon game. It is for people who like pokemon, which you probably dont becuase you like Iron Maiden, But i like it and so does my friend, so we are working on a game called pokemon travels, which is the hoenn region, but in gold, silver, and crystal graphics.
