Doge Dash is a new Play-to-earn endless runner developed by Doge Studios. The game lets you earn real money by paying 100 DodgeDash coins to enter the challenge and stand a chance of winning as many as 10,000 DodgeDash coins from the game. It's an exciting and beneficial concept, seeing how Play-to-earn titles have been making their way to mobile in the last couple of months. This is just the latest addition that offers entirely free-to-play gameplay even if you're not willing to bet real money on the game in hopes of earning more. Pay-To-Earn games usually come with a set of fallbacks, such as the tendency to focus more on the earning aspect than actually making a fun and interesting game. But for this one, it's got some pretty cool features that'll make some see it as a Super Mario-inspired game. It's got the whole Super Mario jump and slams enemies gameplay, so yeah, it takes inspiration from the acclaimed Nintendo game, but this time instead of spending all the coins you collect from running, you get to keep them and even convert them to real money. Dodge Dash Earning System The gameplay, as mentioned above, tasks slight inspiration from Super Mario but concentrates heavily on the Pay-To-Earn element that sort of takes away most of the fun from the players. Since it's a Pay-To-Earn game, most players won't even play for the sake of enjoying the game, but they'll be playing to earn some coins. Well, even though this game is Pay-To-Earn, you can't just start earning immediately as you commence playing. The game is challenging, and only skilled players can scale through and reach level 10, which is the level you can claim your collected coins. So if you play the game and strive to reach up to level 8-9 and die before reaching level 10, you'll lose all the coins you've earned so far. We're unsure if you'll be required to pass level 10 to keep your collected coins, or you only need to reach level 10 (even if you get killed in it) to claim the collected coins. Level 10 is where the doghouse is situated, and it could be the last level, but we've not been able to get up to that point just yet as the game's difficulty is easily belittled but can be surprisingly challenging. Gameplay You'll probably enjoy this game more if you play from the 'having a good time' side rather than the 'playing to make some money side of it. You could do both either way. The gameplay is pretty interesting as it brings back the good old memories of Super Mario games, but this time, you get to control a cute puppy who represents the Doge. The gameplay sees you jumping and jumping even higher to evade enemies. You can tap the right side of the screen to jump a short jump while pressing and holding the right side of the screen will see you jump even higher, like a double jump. So you get the image already. It's also a fast-paced runner, so you have no control over how fast the puppy runs or how fast the enemies approach can be; all you have to do is jump to collect coins and evade enemies. While this is very interesting, the game's overall quest is kind of a letdown since you can't keep any of the coins you've collected until you've reached level 10. And the enemies can be challenging too if you're not careful. Evading enemies Like most fast-paced runners out there, the types of enemies in this game are the types you'd expect. Enemies are coming from above, below, and even middle attacking enemies. The enemies coming from above are the easiest to evade because you don't even have to jump to dodge them. On the other hand, some enemies attack from below, and you must jump them to move on to the next level. Be careful, though, because while trying to dodge the enemy from below, you might need to time and perfect your jump, so it does not allow you to clash or jump right into an enemy from above. Every level in the game sees you face up to new enemies and challenges you to come up with ways of overcoming them, even if the only thing you have control over is your jumping. But that's where the Super Mario-ish style of passing enemies unscathed comes into play. Remember how you can jump on top of enemies and knock them down in Super Mario? Well, you can do that here too. You can jump high and land on enemies to knock them out and run safely past them. However, not all enemies can be knocked down. Some enemies have dangerously sharp edges on the outside that instead of knocking them down after jumping on them, you'll knock yourself out instead, and that's mission failed. We suggest using the double jump feature more often instead of the single jump because the double jump feature lets you evade enemies better and keeps you in the sky long enough for some enemies to pass along before you get back to the ground. Conclusion Depending on the level you find yourself in, you'll come across various types of enemies almost every time. The first level sees you evading birds (which is easy), and slowly you'll move on to evading bees that will attack from both above and below, trying to sting you and put you down. So levels 2, 3, 4, and up to level 10 will have different enemies with different attack modes just waiting to put you down. You'll face brain-eating zombies at some point. It'll be hard to get past them, considering how many they'll be, but we guess that you'll have to use the double jump and keep on jumping on them to knock them out.

Doge Dash is a new fast-paced game from Doge Studios that allows players to take little control of a cute golden-colored puppy and try to get it to level 10 unscathed to be able to keep their coins. The game is a Pay-To-Earn game that is completely free-to-play, and if you play long enough, you might complete all levels from 1-9 and get your well-deserved reward in level 10. Many players will see this one as a Super Mario-inspired game because it takes a lot of inspiration from one of the most popular and oldest games ever created. From jumping on enemies, collecting coins, and entering new levels, Doge Dash is a fine and interesting fast-paced game that lets you earn real money just by playing. So in this article, we'll be giving you our honest review of the game by detailing its ups and downs, such as the game's Pay-To-Earn feature, overall gameplay, controls, and how to spend the coins once you've collected them in level 10. So without wasting any more time, let's dive into the Dodge Dash review. Gameplay Dodge Dash is a whole new cryptocurrency that's out right now, but this time the developers didn't just release a new Crypto but released a mobile game along with it. And the game is quite eye-catching and addictive because you can either play the game wanting to win or play to enjoy the game. Ultimately, this game is an endless free-to-play runner that carries inspiration from Super Mario and changes things up a bit to look a lot modern and fast-paced. The gameplay has you running and jumping as a cute puppy and evading enemies as you run and collect coins. Many players will appreciate this because there are times when we could be on a short break at work or be in a long waiting line that could see us wait 10-15 minutes for our turn, and in that situation, we'd want something to use and pass the time. And that's why games like this come in. For most users, it's the likes of Subway Surfers, Candy Crush, or even Super Mario Run. But those games aren't Pay-To-Earn titles; they don't pay you to play. This is where Doge Dash comes in and sort of snatches away a couple of players. As cryptocurrency continues to rise to unexpected heights and falls unexpectedly, many people are convinced that it's the future. As new NFTs make their way out every time, only time will tell how players will surge Doge Dash in the coming weeks. The gameplay has a ton of fun slides and evades to offer and even funny-looking enemies, but ultimately, it does little to give players Moe control over the puppy, making it a bit dull. Controls and Soundtrack Being an endless runner, the controls aren't essential in a review, but we must mention that giving players the option of jumping alone isn't simply good enough. You have no control of the puppy, and every part of the screen only lets you jump once or press and hold the screen to jump higher. The developers should've added a button that allows you to do other things, which can charge incoming enemies to knock them down or even charge towards them while in the air or something else entirely. We understand that it's a Play-to-earn game that doesn't concentrate on delivering an interesting gameplay experience and lays most of its focus and budget towards making the Play-to-earn concept more fun. However, a game is still a game, and most players would play not for the opportunity to win crypto but for its fun. The game's soundtrack isn't very impressive as well. It lacks the endless runner or fast-paced runner game vibe that comes with the likes of Temple Run or Subway Surfers. I doubt this is yet another low-budget decision or the developers have a horrible taste in choosing game soundtracks. Graphics and Visuals This is one area where the game excels than most. The graphics look cool for their size. You could see the puppy's cute eyes shining right at you as you jump and hoop your way past enemies. The locations are also well designed to make every new level feel like a game that takes you to a whole new planet. You can see the enemies and even how they burst out of the ground and act as hurdles to stop you from progressing forward until you stump on them and still make your way through. The game's visuals are impressive as well, and the developers did a good job at making sure there was nothing like a loading screen that'll have to make you wait to play. Verdict Another cool thing about the game is that you can head to the official website and try the demo. Yeah, you can play the game's demo online and get a feel of what to expect before you can download the game on your mobile device. Since the demo is on the game's official website, you can get more information on it right there and even visit the store where you can get some gears and even more information on the game's NFT. Overall, Doge Dash is an impressive Pay-To-Earn fast-paced game that, despite taking inspiration from Super Mario, still manages to show off interesting features of its own, starting with the NFTs. Not many games out there let you download them for absolutely free and then allow you to play to earn cryptocurrency. The game also introduces new features at each level. So if you find the puppy lacking some features in level 1, you might see changes in how it attacks and evades enemies when you reach level 4-5 and above, then it gets better.
