“WTF I just played? O_o Well, it's indeed a kind of platformer and adventure game and there are absolutely absurd amounts of ways to die. “A Million WTF to Die in the Dogolrax” as told another guy in his review.…”
“A really super weird platforming game with an odd sense of humor. It's like if Out of this World had sex HR Geiger while a sad clown watched in a corner. Most of the fun is seeing how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the game gets and some of…”
“What the hell did I just subject myself to? I'd describe Dogolrax as kind of like alternating shots of Wario Ware and Out Of This World until you're falling-down drunk, then building a game out of the resulting…”

“A true love/hate relationship... but worth it if you're patient and appreciate surreal art. Love: The art is incredible and it is evident that the devs are VERY creative minds. Give Salvador Dali a ton of acid, let him…”
“The game is quite unique, there's no mistaking that. As soon as you start the game, you're greeted by an anime-style character that makes you wonder if this will be THAT kind of game. Although two of the tags are sexual…”
“This game would have been fine as a free flash game on Newgrounds or any other web site. 2 hour and you finish the game the character controls like sh-- and the ending is very very very anticlimactic. Final verdic: it…”

“Dogolrax is an insane feverdream of a videogame, and easily worth a few bucks. I recommend playing it without knowing anything else, but if that isn't enough: It plays like a poorly-programmed Flash game. The music…”
“Ahh, Dogolrax... I'll recommend this game to anyone who either 1. Just wants to try something new. 2. Wants to play a game that feels pretty random. 3. Has played and liked "Another World". This game is FAR from…”
“I don't even know what the hell I just played. On sale for a dollar and in my opinion worth at least 4 of those. Short, fun, and surprisingly good humor. Will they make another? Who knows.. but I'd pay another dollar if…”

“Dogolrax is a simple adventure-platformer game that is a throwback to classics like "Another World". *It may be simple, but that doesn't mean it's easy!* Dogolrax is exactly as advertised on its store page; anything can…”
“Short but great game, well worth the cost. Looks like it may have some good replay value as well based on all the paths that were not taken.”

“Dogolrax has a few good moments at the beginning of the game, but it steadily goes downhill after the first 5 minutes. It promised to be similar to "Another World" but it misses the mark. Every screen has some glaring…”
“This game is bad. The beginning makes it seem like it's going to be a disturbing, atmostpheric platformer, but that quickl;y goes away when you enter Chapter 2 and are stuck in some BS underwater level (where you WILL…”

“Lackluster gameplay coupled with a storyline that simultaneously tries too hard and at the same time doesn't try hard enough. The puzzles are simple, and gameplay is short; I beat the entire game in less than an hour.…”
“Short game full of preposterous circumstances and dark humour. Forgiving for those who just want to see the game and reach the end but ridiculously challenging in an 80's Arcade style for those who... just want to…”

“It's a sh*tpost. I would've recommended it if it wasn't for some dumb jokes and annoying controls. And some of it felt personal. Honestly, I beat it out of spite. Eh, it's pretty good in other aspects. Btw, anime girls…”

“This is one of the most bizarre games I've ever played. Also, animu waifus. Edit 2023: This game is terrible actually. I came back to it in November 2019 to put the other 1.3 hours in, and I absolutely hated it. So much…”

“This game is such a bizarre combination of amazing, WTF and terrible, I have no idea what it's going for, but it's mesmerizing nonetheless. The story is nonsensical - a mishmash of every pulp sci-fi idea out there! Amnesiac earth scientist on an alien planet, girls with giant...…”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“A lot of games that shoot for surreal atmospheres miss the mark, because it’s not that easy to defy the boundaries of reality. Dogolrax succeeds in a way that I’m not entirely sure was intentional, because it seems to dance all over the line between surrealism and satire. From…”

The design and graphics were interesting and fun to look at, the world was colorful yet twisted and overall the game felt like…”
