NODGE

The beat is trying to kill you.

Nodge is a neon arcade survival game where every obstacle spawns to the music. Dodge, graze, and survive as 20 types of hazards — lasers, rings, pulse walls, converging beams — close in from all directions, perfectly synced to 15 original electronic tracks.

Miss once and it's over. Graze the edge and build your combo.

HOW IT WORKS

• Survive — you're a single point at the center of the arena. Obstacles spawn from every direction. Touch one and you're dead.

• Graze — scrape the edge of a hazard without dying to build your combo multiplier and score.

• React — obstacles are beat-synchronized. Learn the rhythm, predict the spawns, survive longer.

• Unlock — complete tracks to open the next song. Each track escalates in speed, density, and chaos.

FEATURES

15 Original Tracks

From pulsing opening runs to brutal late-game gauntlets — each track has its own obstacle set, difficulty curve, and visual theme.

20 Obstacle Types

Expanding rings, contracting rings, sweeping lasers, tri-lasers, radial blasts, mirror lasers, orbit mines, pulse bombs, converging walls, wave rings, laser grids — and more. Every run mixes them differently.

16 Visual Themes

Synthwave, Bloodmoon, Deep Space, Acid Trip, Midnight Circuit, Bioluminescent, Corrupted — each with unique colors, arena styling, and visualizer style.

18 Visualizer Styles

Beat-reactive background visuals — kaleidoscopes, DNA helices, circuit boards, orbital systems, laser harps, retrogrids, voronoi cells — filling the background as you play.

7 Post-Processing Effects

Toggle Bloom, VHS Glitch, Color Grading, Neon Edge Detection, Radial Pulse, Speed Lines, and Pixelate independently. Each song has a suggested FX configuration, or build your own.

CRT Aesthetic

Full CRT shader with scanlines, chromatic aberration, curvature, vignette, and noise — all reactive to gameplay intensity.

Steam Leaderboards & Cloud Saves

Compete globally on every track. Your progress and settings sync across devices.

Difficulty Per Track

Easy (35 sec), Normal (55 sec), Hard (85 sec) — shorter runs on lower difficulties mean faster feedback loops and gentler onboarding.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Nodge is for players who want arcade intensity without complexity. No build systems. No inventory. No upgrades to grind. Just you, the music, and the hazards.
