His obsessive search for alchemical ingredients took him into the ruins of the ancient world. It is said that whatever he found there drove him mad, but nothing is truly known about his disappearance. Take a brief glimpse into his life, and uncover the mysteries of a forbidden land.

    Deceptively whimsical, Dandy is a perma-death side-scrolling shoot 'em up with a host of stacking power-ups. Different on every play-through, with reactive enemies that force you to strategize.    … Expand

    Hides a very challenging shoot'em up experience under its vibrant visuals and, provided you're willing to brave its perma-death and procedural mechanics, you're in for a compelling experience, especially if you have friends to play with or against.

I really enjoy this game, but it makes me want to rip out my hair when I make it really far, only to die to my own bullets as that jackass shielded fish reflects my doom back to me.

    This game is a great pick up and go experience that you embark on whenever you have a few minutes in passing. The ever changing map keeps it from ever feeling stagnant, while at the same time, the combination of enemies and learning the different types of attacks and defenses they have makes it far from a randomly generated win, and instead makes it a great balance between a bit of luck, a bit of skill, and a lot of tactics.

    On top of that, they offer an online "racing" mode that is a ton of fun, allowing you to lay traps, get boosts, and compare strategies as you evolve your character to the finish line. I have only done a few races so far, but I want more.

    This game provided me a much broader experience than I expected, and although I have only played it for a short time so far, I am really enjoying the experience and look forward to logging in a bunch more hours, even if I end up with bald patches on my head from my frustrating deaths.    … Expand
