Deceptively whimsical, Dandy is a perma-death side-scrolling shoot 'em up with stacking power-ups. Different on every playthrough, with reactive enemies that force you to use strategy.

You know that cool game Cloud Master on the Master System where you went around fighting bowls of noodles and pig's heads? Dandy is like that except cuter, and - somehow - even more inscrutable. The only thing I don't care for is the soundtrack, which is some ambient techno nonsense that belongs in a European racing game from the nineties,
This game is an underrated gem!
I've only played this game a couple hours so far and haven't even reached a single boss or anything, but I can't recommend this game enough. Neat art style, nice colors, and gameplay is easy to pick up. Even though the controls are easy to grasp, this game is unforgiving. It has no problem throwing you in and annihilating you. And levels are randomly generated and sometimes the enemies generated will completely screw you over if you aren't thinking fast enough. My only complaint is there isn't a section giving you information about previously used powerups in the compedium. Minor complaint that doesn't really matter too much in the grand scheme of things. It's a solid game and definitely a new go to when I'm bored or can't sleep.

Keep shooting monster blobs with different candy powers. Very fun and challenging!
Not a bad variety of enemies with decent attack patterns plus an ok mix 'n' match missile selection system between each stage. I like the way you unlock more missile-types (by killing X amount of different enemies) and the game is good for 2-3 runs per session before game-play gets a tad stale. What it lacks is any sort of score and hence any sort of high-score chart. It does not keep track of what stage or level you have reached and there is no indication of this while you play and no records of runs whatsoever! You're simply whisked back to the start when you lose 5 lives and do it all over again. Sure, you unlock new sweets (missile-types) and it tracks how many of each enemy you have killed altogether but I do prefer my 2D Shooters to be score-attacks and high-score based (which is pretty much 99% of them) rather than to grind out kills for a meter to move up. Gets a thumbs up though cos it's ok for a 2-3 run blast per session.
Dandy is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as a cheap, lazy cash grab. It's a mobile ported side scrolling shmup with a simplistic theme. Stack/upgrade your weapons and shoot waves of samey cartoony enemies while flying on a lollipop and shooting with a candy cane. Which means every single decent idea for a video game has been taken and this is all the scumbags at wefiends, Inc could come up with. And I did say scumbags... why? These chumps ported a crappy mobile game to Steam, where they charge $9.99 USD for it because they love to gouge PC gamers and they think we're second class citizens. $3.99 on iOS. Completely reprehensible greed. Unacceptable and unforgivable. Don't reward this moral bankruptcy.
muy buen juego, con una curva de dificultad elevada, el segundo jugador solo ayuda tampoco es que haga mucho en el juego pero la verdad que el juego esta muy bien, estilo naves pero solo con movilidad vertical, bastantes convinaciones de disparos y una buena estetica, el mando funciona perfectamente.
A very fun and colorful rougelite shoot em up. Love this game and it deserves more attention.
