    Don't avoid Avoid if you enjoy to dodge obstacles and precipices while listening to some nice tunes. On the harder difficulties its harder than a bullet hell game... just nuts.

    I'd rather shove a screwdriver down my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ than play this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ seizure inducing crap. All you do is move left and right with A and D and dodge blocks/lasers/other ♥♥♥♥. The controls feel very clunky and it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful to look at. Not to mention it plays the same song over and over for each stage.

    very fun and addictive game, your objective is to avoid the obstacles in front of you to reach the end. simple concept but it gets harder as you advance, it has great level design, great soundtrack and more than enough content to justify its price and more. so i would highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a simple yet chellenging game.

    Aptly named! High speed techno-blaring arcade racer. Only a few types of hazards, pitfalls, walls, missles, and moving left-right orb-walls. Power ups? They instantly work, you can't save them for a tasteful time later. Fits in with the high-speed arcade gameplay. If you like the oldie Skyroads, or the remake Tasty Static (highly reccomended, both are free, google em!) You'll feel comfortable here, though it's a set pace, and you can't jump, it still provides a feeling of staisfaction the…

    Playing only a bit of it, the game is somewhat addictive. The soundtrack is amazing for this game. It's more or less an endurance run, grab a shield to avoid hitting walls and bullets, but also avoid the holes on the floor that end the game. The longer you stay, the more points you have. Other than that, there isn't much more. Multipliers do help. And I'm sure once this game builds a big enough audience, my name won't be on the high score board. (I'm kinda bad at video games)

    It reminds me of my Super Hexagon experience.. "Begin, game over.. Begin, game over.. Begin, game over.." etc. If you enjoy challenging games then this would be right up your alley. There are 4 types of levels to pick from, each have unique obstacles to dodge. You can choose to play in "Easy, Medium, Hard or Extreme" and there is an option to play in an endless mode which is really fun. The controls are a bit sensitive though. If you have 3/4 of your ship on land and 1/4 over a ledge then…

    In this game, you move a spaceship left and right as it automatically scrolls forward, avoiding obstacles as you progress. It's a simple premise, and Avoid: Sensory Overload really isn't breaking any new ground. But what begins as a rather mediocre addition to the pile of retro-inspired games available on Steam quite rapidly develops into one of the toughest games in your library, and what's more, it's addictive. At advanced levels, the game's pace is breakneck, and the course is littered with…

    Fly your spaceship through various obstacles categorized in 4 worlds. Extremely crisp controls, optimal for keyboards. Music is okayish, could use some more energy often too slow and soothing. The perspective often leaves you with an unsafe feeling because you cannot clearly see where blocks end. This game forces you to perfect your hand eye coordination and at the same time trains your periferal vision too see whats coming up while focusing your ship to not touch walls or holes (or vice…

    Mesmerizing, addicting and challenging fast paced dodging game. I just wish you could use your own music. The controls are easy to use and the game is quite fun until it starts to feel repetitive. If you play too long, you start seeing the game when you blink after you quit lol.

    Obstacle dodging game for insane people. Be warned that it is very addicting and very difficult, so completionists beware. That being said, it deserves a thumbs up for being a hidden gem that you will definitely get your moneys worth from (it goes on sale 90% off all the time too). There are 4 themes, each with designed levels to test your muscle memory/pathing, as well as endless mode, where you constantly speed up and dodge randomized pattern chunks. Both the designed levels and endless modes…

    While I have played and enjoyed similar games in this style (Boson X, T.E.C. 3001, Audiosurf, Run 3, etc), Avoid is just too difficult for my taste. This game just hates you. "Well, get good at it then", I hear you cry, but here's the thing: 1) I honestly don't know if I have what it takes, even if I devote my life to beating this game. 2) Even if I could... why should I? That would feel like torture. This game doesn't feel engaging at all to me, even after finally winning platinum on a new…

    Fun game that's like a simplified mix of SkyRoads and Race the Sun, with a dash of Super Hexagon (mainly the female announcer :D ) Inside the level you only have the "move left" and "move right" control - no jumping, boosting, etc. But that doesn't make it easy! I've only been able to complete the Easy and Medium level sets myself.

    Okay, so my initial review was basically that this game is impossible for a human to finish but that I enjoyed it anyways. Well, here we are a few dozen hours later and I guess I have to revise that. New review: this game is one of the most intense experiences I've had on Steam. While it can be frustrating at times, the game is very "fair" and levels that seem to require inhuman speed actually just require incredible timing. The game is less about hitting buttons fast and more about…

    I'd put this game in terms of gameplay Super Hexagon. The easy levels are very completable, and the game is quite fun. It is definitely comparable to Super Hexagon(or the Impossible Game, etc) in terms of difficulty once you are finished with easy. The difficulty curve gets steep and fast. But at least until you get up to hard and extreme it's not unreasonably hard, just very unforgiving. I also warn against long play sittings: the visuals can induce nausea if you are sensitive to strobe…

    Welcome to Highway Hypnosis: The Game! Do you remember that old DOS game, SkyRoads? It's like that, but with powerups, score multipliers, music, no jumping, and you're in Tron instead of outer space. Avoiding the hitboxes on obstacles and pitfalls for perfect run achievements is a chore, but it's entertaining to zone out to the flashing background, soundtrack, and moving levels, and let your fingers go on autopilot. It's repetitive, frustrating, and oddly entrancing.

    Avoid is very addicting! the music, levels colour and diffrences between the levels keep me comming back once and awhile to try and beat that last level, but be warned the game is tough. Avoid is one of those games where if you play it for too long you may get frustrated and begin to preform less and less, atleast thats what I find when playing this game.

    While Avoid Sensory Overload is another mobile title to make the leap to PC it doesn't feel like a cheap cash-in. The gameplay is addictive and on higher difficulty levels the game can provide quite a challenge. The randomly generated levels in endless mode also provide plenty of longevity, especially for the price. If you are looking for a pure arcade experience where you can test your reflexes while listening to some nice tunes then you won't want to avoid this game. You can check out the…

    Overview: Avoid Sensory Overload is a really fun arcade dodging game, slightly reminiscent of titles like Race the Sun. You're speeding forwards at an ever-increasing rate, and you control your little ship and steer it around to collect score multipliers and powerups while avoiding walls and holes in the track. Accessibility: The easiest mode is very accessible to casual players, while the harder modes require lightning reflexes. There are a lot of flashing lights, so if you're sensitive to…

The time it can take to get to the rewarding speed of your skill and the instant dump of failure feels a little unballanced as the controls feels slightly unresponsive.

It's not very deep, but there are many different play modes and each level is unique every time you play. I really enjoy how within a second of dying you are playing again.

    It is not really a bad game but it is not a good game either. It is a music game where you just dodge obstacles. There are four different music categories each with about four difficulties and eight levels each. I went through each music tab and beat the eight levels on easy and that was all I could take. The game has a basic level design and they all are almost identical. There is also an endless mode that did not add much to the game. I would not recommend this to any of my friends since I…

    Great game! There is no story, and no real sophistication in the gameplay - nor is either necessary. You move a "ship" around the screen, trying to avoid obstacles (usually blocks or pits, a few moving parts). Around you is a neon lighted strobing light tunnel and the course itself is only a few meters visible, building itself as you race along. What makes the game so interesting is the way the music meshes with the gameplay, the way you can, or rather must, lose yourself until there is…

    A simple, frustrating game that tells you in the title what MOST people should do. AVOID it. You can tell by the video if it would be your cup of tea. Unfortunately, I got it from a bundle and added it without watching the video. That was rectified by removing it from my account. At least it has Steam cards.

    I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion.

    I will probably never complete this game, due to not being willing to play it for the sake of how flat it is. It's really something you should investigate and decide if you want to play it. The music is flat, the obstacles are plenty. You can fall through a hole and bam! start the level again. Feels impossible, and more than half like it doesn't want you to keep playing what it tries to be. The colours attracted me, but playing it lets it wear off. Each type of level is different:…

    This game is really hard to play while you're drunk. Fun otherwise.
