Sit Back and Grab Your Gamepads
xDasher is a frantic local coop game about dashing through monsters with the proper colour to get higher combos and scores. This is a game where co-op actually means cooperative, because all players share a health bar and any monster encounter requires every one to do their part.The gameplay is entirely colour coded, meaning each of your team mates can only damage monsters highlighted in their colour. You need to attack monsters alternatingly and within a small time frame to kill them. Thus, xDasher evokes old-school couch co-op feelings, where you start yelling at each other, given the fierce battle against time, the hustle of aligning your tactics and knowing you will only make it as a team.
Unique Levels
