Dandy: Or a Brief Glimpse Into the Life of the Candy Alchemist

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.

its a cute sidescrolling shooter with a sense of discovery as you slowly collect upgrades to your power. its simple and sweet.

Keep shooting monster blobs with different candy powers. Very fun and challenging!

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.

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.

Oyun çok güzelde insan çıldırır bunu oynarken tam bölümü geçiyorsun sonraki bölümde düşmanlar her tarafını çeviriyor ve üstüne sen ne kadar item toplayıp güçlensen de oyun seni bir şekilde alt etmek için karşıdaki düşmanı ölümsüz yapıyor.10 saniye boyunca aralıksız bir tek düşmana durmadan ateşliyorum ölmüyor.

I want to be as honest as possible while writing this, so here we go. I received this game for free about 5-7 years ago, and I got to have some time to play it. It was an alright experience, the side-scrolling shooter part I enjoy most since it reminds me of other games that has the idea behind it. But I have a severe problem that I have to mention. Even though you can play the game just fine, I find that it can actually mess with your main system itself. I can't exactly explain what problems they are because I haven't played the game for about 4 years now, but it infuriated me when it was messing with the functionality of my entire system. Now, although I [i]could have[/i] recommended this game, but due to the severe problem that I ran into, [b]I wouldn't recommend it due to how bad it can mess with your system[/b]. The only way to technically fix it is just to uninstall the game itself, and I know people don't want to do that, but saving your system is more worth it in the long run... [b]2/10[/b] for the system problems, but otherwise this would have seen a better score if this was fixed.

* El juego tiene un arte muy bueno. La música es agradable. Tiene una bonita variedad de enemigos y estrategias. Justo como lo promete: su dificultad se adapta lo cuál complica la experiencia desde el inicio. Te mantiene alerta. Dandy tiene permadeath. Para jugarlo y acabarlo, hay que pasarse horas aprendiendo las técnicas para vencer a los enemigos y sus evoluciones qué, como lo dije antes, posiblemente aparezcan desde los primeros niveles porque, sí, la dificultad del juego se adapta. No tienes ninguna decisión en ello. * Esto último no me molestaría si el juego corriera correctamente. * A pesar de la frustración, ya que me gustan los buenos retos, estaba tentado a recomendar el juego pero empezaron a suceder varios problemas: de repente el juego se paraba en momentos difíciles. Primero pensé que era mi equipo pero sinceramente, Dandy no tiene el suficiente punch como para detener un equipo de mediano alto rango exclusivamente utilizado para jugar. La explicación: el juego está mal optimizado o es un juego de flash, o ambas cosas. Ah, la tristeza. Primero bajé la versión beta la cual mejora el tiempo de carga del juego pero aún así sigue teniendo problemas. Intenté, como último recurso, correr el juego junto con CPU Cores para estabilizarlo. No funcionó. * Aunque me hubiera encantado recomendar Dandy, ya que promete una experiencia muy gratificante en sus mejores momentos, no puedo hacerlo por su terrible optimización. Quizás si tu equipo es Intel no tendrías los problemas que tuve yo. Quizás. Al parecer, abandonaron a Dandy desde el 2016. Una pena. Prometía mucho.

This is a fun shoot em up type of game that can also be quite frustrating because after working really hard learning the patterns of the enemies you get to a different bit and then you get shot in the face and die! and have to go all a back to the beginning again to start again. But, if this is the type of game for you then it can be quite good fun especially if you need to waste a few minutes while waiting to something else the load, you can have a few goes on this to see how far you get. gameplay example. https://youtu.be/eZ_bMQyKaHc
