Cyber Dodge An Easy to Pick Up and Play Game for iPhone

Cyber Dodge for iPhone is a very simple arcade style game that got me addicted from the jump. It is very easy to pick up and play and the tied in social networking features that OpenFeint brings to the table make it easy to compete with friends.

You control a cyber avatar with the task of capturing targets while avoiding the geometric enemies. You can control the avatar with your finger or the accelerometer in an experience similar to Asteroids (minus the shooting). The combination of a solid game and social experience that is lacking in many games has me coming back to Cyber Dodge continually.

The visual presentation is impressive from the vivid color schema to smooth gameplay that you need to avoid the enemies as they begin to crow your screen. The colors used in this game make it very easy to differentiate between the various elements of the game. The color coded enemies helps in knowing that if you see purple you have a short amount of time to react. The music also does a great job in my mind of fitting in with the style of game. In a game such as this one, cooler heads prevail so the smooth calming rythmic music is very fitting.

The concept of this game is fairly simple, utilize your finger/accelerometer to guide your avatar to targets on the map while avoiding a number of different enemies. With enemies ranging from super fast purple that goes screaming across the map to the blue
