Open Play and start a city run. Drag toward where you want to move; holding near the top keeps you running as the camera scrolls. New cities have four sectors with three gold seals in each. Choose any two per sector to open the exit. The third is optional treasure; extra gold cannot replace a missed sector. Earlier saved cities keep their original rules. Crystals are optional: detour for points and chains, or take the safer route. Each completed escape adds your winning route as an echo for your next attempt. Four escapes take you into a new district with cleared echoes. Districts vary through wind lanes, pulse floors, moving rails and echo-triggered plates. Pressure rises gradually, then caps.
Clear a roof and choose Challenge a friend. Send the .dodgecity attachment using the share sheet. Your friend opens the file in DODGE US and faces the same course and hazards; your route is a harmless pace marker. Score ranks points then official time; Sprint ranks official time then points. After finishing, they choose Send result back and send you a reply file. Replies do not arrive automatically. Friends keeps your local invitations and results. Earlier rooftop friend turns still use Game Center and require a Game Center account and a network connection.
Install DODGE US, then return to the original message and tap the challenge again. If the app is already installed, choose “Open this challenge” on the landing page.
Open a .dodgecity attachment and choose DODGE US, or import it from Friends. Keep the file until it opens successfully. Older .dodge attachments and links open in their original game mode. Installing the app does not automatically import a previously received file: return to the original message afterward.
Update the app and retry. If the file is damaged, ask the sender for a new copy. Do not shorten challenge links: the information after # is part of the arena.
In new City Heists runs, each seal earns 200 points and each crystal 250. An optional completed contract adds 400. Each hit costs one heart, adds two seconds of official time and deducts 300 points on a successful escape. Unhurt sector chains earn 125, 250, 375 and 500 Flow points. A hit breaks that chain. Crystal chains, a completed escape and time remaining add bonuses. The result shows the breakdown. Cleared-roof points accumulate until you finish the run; failed attempts do not erase completed-roof points. Daily bests and career mastery save locally. Assisted controls keep separate records.
Each new district offers one optional bonus: collect four crystals, escape unhurt, escape before 70% of the clock is used, or personally operate all four chamber switches. Connector switches and echo presses do not count toward Switchcraft. The bonus banks only when you escape. Contracts also count toward new courier colours and mastery. You can complete the course without the bonus.
Tap Dodge once per roof for brief protection against moving hazards and echoes. Dodge does not let you pass through walls. Pressure switches can open optional crystal shortcuts; a recorded echo can also operate a switch. New vaults also have a permanent way out: the shutter is a shortcut, so waiting inside cannot trap you. Queue Dodge before your next court touch; with assisted controls, queue it before choosing a direction.
Pause and return to Play to resume your saved city run. After resuming, the clock waits for your next court touch so you can get your finger into place. A City Duel has its own saved attempt, so receiving a friend’s file does not replace your city run. Finishing a run banks its completed escapes into your local career. Earlier runs remain accessible under Earlier Echo runs. If saving reports a problem, retry saving before leaving.
Open Arena options → Report or block, or hold a saved challenge in the library. You can prepare an email report or block the challenge and its contributor IDs on this iPhone. Blocks survive relaunch and can be undone in Settings. IDs are not verified; also block unwanted senders in the messaging service. Reports reach ayhembaappstore@gmail.com only when you send the message. For an unwanted City Duel, block its sender in the messaging service you use; contact support if needed.
A small Google AdMob banner may appear in History only when your regional privacy choice allows ad requests and iOS tracking permission is authorized. Ads do not appear during a run. Open Settings → Advertising privacy choices to revisit Google’s form when it is available. If the choice cannot load or tracking permission is denied, the game remains playable without an ad. You can report an inappropriate ad from Settings.
New Supporter purchases are paused. If you bought Supporter earlier, open Settings → Restore purchases using the Apple Account that bought it. A verified active purchase removes the History banner. If Apple revokes or refunds the purchase, the app may show ads again when consent permits. For a refund request, use Apple’s Report a Problem; eligibility is decided by Apple and varies by region. Contact us if Restore purchases is not working, but do not send payment-card details.
Email ayhembaappstore@gmail.com for help. Include your iPhone model, iOS version and what happened. Please do not send payment-card details or passwords. DODGE US includes City Heists, daily cities, manual City Duels and earlier practice routes. Solo play and downloaded challenges work offline; Game Center and ads need an internet connection; file delivery depends on the sharing method.
