History
Dodgy Rocks began as a Power Rangers(tm) fan game made for John's 5 year old son. It grew out of a game jam intended to create a game that the entire family could play. There was no theme other than it had to have simple controls, from which came the idea of restricting controls to left-right only, and thus the core dodging mechanic was created.
The game has been enhanced from the jam version to offer deeper mastery and gameplay to challenge even the most skillful gamers.
But the core idea remains - dodge EVERYTHING!
In 2020, Dodgy Rocks was ported to the Classic Amiga platform and released to some acclaim, gaining a 78% review score in Amiga Addict magazine and voted one of Amiga Bill's games of the year. Dodgy Rocks Amiga is published by Phoenix Ware.
