Dodge Boy is one of those classic Game Boy games that looks simple at first—just avoid the obstacles, right?—but then suddenly you're hunched over your screen, palms sweating, because that last jump was way tighter than you expected. The pixel art has that perfect early handheld charm, and the soundtrack? Pure bleep-bloop nostalgia that somehow never gets old.

What I love is how it starts slow, lulling you into thinking "Yeah, I got this," before ramping up into absolute chaos. You'll be weaving between spikes, timing jumps over pits, and occasionally yelling at the screen when you mistime a dodge by half a second. It's the kind of game you pick up for five minutes and suddenly realize you've been playing for an hour.

If you've got a soft spot for retro handhelds, this one's a must-play. Just don't blame me when you start seeing obstacles in your dreams.
