The Basics

Hodge Dodge is a game about dodging enemies by moving in and out of the background. You will use the crank to control Hodge with 1:1 movement... so when you position your crank behind the Playdate, Hodge moves behind the enemies. Similarly, when you position your crank in front of the Playdate, Hodge will move into the foreground. Imagine Hodge is attached to the little yellow crank handle as you move it all around! 

Other than the crank, the only button you need is B to BOOST. But you better leave that to the pros!

Three Separate Game Modes

Hodge Dodge has three game modes that progressively unlock to provide you greater and greater control of Hodge.

1. JettyKicks: 3D Ground Dodging

In JettyKicks, use the bottom half of the crank to move Hodge into the foreground, middle ground, and background. The ground is divided into 3 lanes to help you gain a sense of depth as you start your adventure.

2. JettyPack: 4D Air Dodging

Take to the air with JettyPack as you crank Hodge into the foreground, middle ground (low and high), and background. Movement is still restricted to these three lanes, though!

3. UltraJetty: 360D Ultra Dodging

This is the full experience. Crank with complete 1:1 control of Hodge as you dodge unique enemies that can be just as nimble as you. By this point you have proven yourself to be able to dodge with the best of 'em.

Helpful Pickups

Most anything shaped like a circle is safe to pick up (except for the Super Spike enemy!)

	Coin	Each coin is worth x100 for your score
	Combo	Complete the combo by picking up 8 in a row for a helpful prize
	Battery	Batteries let you keep jetting and taking hits
	Extra Life	A reserve battery pack that can recharge your battery completely

Enemy Types

Avoid these enemies at all costs! Each hit from an enemy will discharge some of your battery and bring you closer to ending your run. Enemies do more damage in later levels.

	Twisted Twister	Spirals through the air as it moves from foreground to background
	Rocket Cod	Moves faster than other enemies
	Homing Haddock	Tracks Hodge's location before blasting off
	Super Spike	Moves across the level much slower than other enemies
	Ice-cream Beam	Blocks an entire horizontal section - there is only one way over or under!
	Blockish Blockade	It's a wall.

Daily Challenge Modifiers

Daily Challenges unlock once you have proven your expertise in each Jetty Mode by getting to level 10. Each mode will generate a unique Daily Challenge, for a total of 3 new challenges every single day!

These challenges offer demanding end-game content by remixing level order and adding Difficulty Modifiers to spice things up. Multiple modifiers can be activated at the same time. Here are some modifiers you might encounter:

	Fuel Mods	Either no extra fuel spawns this round or a single hit could end your run - be careful!
	Coin Mods	Coins will be replaced by Rocket Cods or Homing Haddocks
	Swarm Mods	Swarms of various enemy types can show up in any world
	Speed and Damage Mods	Daily Challenges mix up speed and damage as well
