Made for the 42nd GM48, "Non-Violence". (https://gm48.net/game/2039/dodger-swirl)

The theme reminded me of a game I've been working on, called Dodger, in which you play as a little bandana-clad fella whirling through portals and dodging bullets fired by a big floating eye. I came up with the idea in the first place because I wanted to make an action-y game that's focused solely on evasion as opposed to combat back.

So, here I decided to make a spin-off of that game! Dodger: Swirl features the same bandana-boy swirling through an endless whirlwind of portals, dodging bullets and collecting enough points to move on to the next level

I also figured that this would be a good chance to practice using the GameMaker web export! Due to an issue with the save/load system, I was not able to submit that in time for the jam, but now that I've fixed it (and learned a lot in the process!) you can play it right here in your browser!
