Dodge the Rod
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
"A rod casted by someone is disturbing Gawr Gura's daily life in underwater! Even when you dodge, seems like the fisherman cannot give up at once!
Can Gura dodge the rod as long as she can?"
(Thought of this idea while sleeping and thinking about plans on Feed the SHAAAARK!! after watching I'M HORNY video from Houshou Marine)
Dodge the Rod is another Gawr Gura parody we're currently developing and it is to dodge the rod coming down to her.
Basic Control:
<-Move left
->Move right
The rod can come down either slow or very fast! Do not get distracted! Good luck with dodging long as you can and set up your best score!

Cute game.
Some constructive criticism:
1. The EXE file triggered a Windows security alert. Maybe check if there's a way to fix it on your next build. It's scary.
2. The game requested to install a deprecated Windows Component (Direct Play) which I didn't install. It probably is something in the engine you're using. Scary number 2.
3. The music is VERY loud and I didn't see a way to adjust the volume. Please consider adding that setting.
4. Pressing crouch down didn't seem to do anything.
5. I didn't see a timer or score counter. Maybe it didn't display because I didn't install that component in point 2?
6. The game would be more fun and challenging if the hooks came down near or on top of the player position after X seconds of not moving. I spent a good while without moving on one side of the screen while the hooks went down on the opposite side.
Keep up the good work! :)
Hi David Wu Softdev
We re also aware of the problems you have mentioned in the game and here are the response to your following criticisms.
With first and second issue you have mentioned, the problem is in the game engine itself since this game is made with now outdated Gamemaker 8.0. But there won’t be any problem when initiating the program. We recommend you to download additional programs to stably run the game.
Setting features which includes volume control will be introduced in ver 2.0.
With number 4, we decided to abolish the crouch down system since it seemed to be considered meaningless in already thrilling in-game experience. We are sorry for inconvenience.
With timers, we are still in consideration of whether shall we add or not and the score counter is still in development and will be introduced in ver 1.5.
With number 6, we are appreciated with the idea you have suggested. We are currently considering to implement your ideas for upcoming versions.
We will try our best to solve the following problems you have mentioned in upcoming versions, which will be constantly updated until complete final version is released. Thank you for the feedback.
Sincerely
