Dodge: destroy your enemies with their own fire - Time Waster

In Rayhound, your ship has a gravity field that you can activate to redirect your opposition's attacks. In Dodge, however, you don't even get a gravity field - and everyone that shoots at you has loaded their guns with you-seeking munitions.
The graphics are vintage cool, reminding me of games like Asteroids, Tempest, and Battlezone. To advance, just destroy every enemy ship by flying around like a madman and craftily manouvering your ship so as to avoid being hit.
Bob and weave so that you put the bad guys in harm's way, and you'll blast your way through the levels.

It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Maybe it's like Ikaruga in the sense that your hit area is like a 2 pixel square.

But... a 2 pixel square is a rectangle...

I see what you did there...
I meant a 2 by 2 pixel square, naturally.
