How to play Whisker Dodge

1. Drag anywhere. Your ship moves with your finger, the same distance and direction.
2. Avoid every bullet and laser for 30 seconds.
3. Lasers flash a warning stripe before they fire.
4. Passing close to bullets without touching them counts as a close call, which is the score.
5. You start on difficulty 3 of 10. Clear a difficulty to unlock the next: faster bullets, fuller ring bursts and shorter laser warnings. Difficulty 5 is the original pattern. Pick any unlocked difficulty with the arrows on the start card.

Tips

• Only the white core of your ship counts as a hit, not the glow around it.
• Small, calm movements beat big swerves.
• The patterns keep their timing every day, and a day’s shots are the same on every attempt, so learn where the gaps open up.
• Everyone gets the same shots all day, and new ones at midnight UTC: the aimed shots come from new spots and the finale’s rain falls differently. “Practice a new layout” deals a fresh one any time, off the leaderboard.
