The more times you dodge it, the faster the block gets but your speed also increases whenever your
score increases.
If you want to pause the game, you can press "p" and it will pause. To continue press "c" and to
exit press "q". If you crash or collide with the enemy block or the wall, your score resets, your speed resets and the enemy
block's speed resets. If you want to see the keybinds, whenever you launch the game, there is a button for help which will show you
