Welcome to Dodge Clash here you have two modes, MOBILE MODE and LAPTOP MODE In MOBILE MODE : TOUCH THE BLACK circle TO ACTIVATE joystick But you must click the green flag before playing with mobile mode! And In LAPTOP MODE : First press space key as u enter the game.. since you cannot take your cursor off the screen you cant lose points so that rule doesn't work in Laptop mode all you have to do is move your cursor around to avoid the spikes After 12 seconds off playing the spike will sometimes randomly get BIG making it hard to avoid them. HAVE FUN :D
