Drop & Dodge is a pixel arcade game made for GBJAM 14.

Crates are falling from the sky and there's nowhere to hide. Watch the warning marks, slip into a safe lane, and survive as long as you can. Some marks hide something shiny: catch old gold for bonus points and hearts to heal.

Features

  • Authentic 4-color palette at the original 160x144 Game Boy resolution
  • Warning lanes tell you where the next drop lands, but the pace keeps rising
  • Collect gold coins and hearts, you have 3 lives
  • Chase your high score, saved in your browser
  • Quick restart, perfect for short sessions

Controls

  • A / D: Move left/right
  • W / S: Select buttons
  • Enter: A (confirm)
  • Backspace: B (back)
  • Esc: Start (pause)
  • Shift: Select (sound on/off)

Theme: OLD GOLD
You are a pirate snowman; one eye sees the darkness while the other gazes at gold. As a snowman dodging falling crates (yes, it's strange), try to collect as much gold as you can!
