DASH n CRY: Bursting

Very fun !! The level design in this game is very awesome, gets extremely difficult especially towards the end but everything is so well made that it stays a fun challenge all the way through. Would very much recommend for the price its at especially if you like difficult games that give you a good challenge.

Excellent game, difficulty on the spot, fun like in the good old days. Recommend it!

[i]DASH n CRY: Bursting knows exactly what it wants to be: a fast-paced precision platformer where every dash counts. It doesn't try to reinvent the genre, but instead focuses on tight controls, demanding level design, and the satisfaction of finally overcoming a challenge that seemed impossible just minutes earlier. It's a small indie title with obvious budget limitations, yet it's easy to appreciate the passion behind it.[/I] [hr][/hr] [h2]🟢 PROS[/h2] [list] [*][b]Excellent Controls:[/b] This is the game's greatest strength. Movement feels incredibly responsive, making every jump, dash, and recovery feel like it's entirely under your control. [*][b]Rewarding Challenge:[/b] The difficulty is high but fair. Success comes from improving your own skills rather than fighting against awkward mechanics. [*][b]Great Level Design:[/b] Levels gradually introduce new ideas without becoming overwhelming, encouraging you to master each mechanic before throwing another obstacle your way. [*][b]Clean & Readable Sprites:[/b] Character animations and gameplay elements are clear and easy to read, which is essential in a precision platformer where split-second decisions matter. [*][b]Fast Restart Loop:[/b] Death is frequent, but instant retries keep frustration to a minimum and maintain the addictive "one more try" feeling. [*][b]Made for Fans of Precision Platformers:[/b] If you enjoy games like Celeste, Super Meat Boy or The End is Nigh, you'll immediately understand what this game is aiming for. [/list] [hr][/hr] [h2]🔴 CONS[/h2] [list] [*][b]Very Minimal Story:[/b] The premise exists mainly to justify the gameplay. Don't expect memorable characters or meaningful narrative development. [*][b]Barebones Presentation:[/b] While the sprites look great, the rest of the visual presentation is rather simple and lacks personality. [*][b]Forgettable Soundtrack:[/b] The music gets the job done, but rarely enhances the action or leaves a lasting impression. [*][b]Limited Production Values:[/b] It's clearly a low-budget indie project, and that shows in everything outside the core gameplay. [/list] [hr][/hr] [h2]💰 VALUE FOR MONEY[/h2] [b]Very Good[/b] - Considering its low price, it's difficult to complain too much about the modest presentation. The money clearly went into making the gameplay as polished as possible, and that's exactly where it shines. If you're looking for a challenging platformer rather than a cinematic experience, this is an easy recommendation. [hr][/hr] [h3]⭐ 7/10[/h3] [i]A small but surprisingly polished precision platformer with responsive controls and satisfying gameplay. It won't impress you with its story or audiovisual presentation, but it absolutely nails the part that matters most: it's fun to play. Consider this [b]7/10[/b] a score of encouragement-I genuinely hope the developers keep building on this solid foundation, because there's plenty of potential for future projects.[/i]

After playing the demo and beating all the levels it had to offer, I had high expectations for DASH n CRY Bursting's full release. I'm happy to say it did not let me down. The levels are fun, the levels are challenging, and the checkpointing never left me frustrated. The difficulty is the perfect balance of needing a few attempts to get the movements down, quick respawn times, and great checkpointing. I see myself going in for all the optional content like I did for the demo, because every piece of this package has been great so far.

So... My friend send me a message... "Have a look on this game! My little brother worked on the project!" With that been sayed I tought it would be a warm cosy walk on the park... DUH! (Homer Simpson exclamation) It's a nightmare! SOLID precision plataformer, it reminds me of Super Meat Boy and Celeste... Yeah, the kid are no joking! He bring the heavy guns at the table! Keep the good work! :steamthumbsup:

game is great and stress you a lot until you cry, its in name everyone

The game is not designed for humans, it's too difficult unfortunately

Overall the game is a pretty basic precision platformer that controls quite nicely. It does have a tiny bit of jank and hitboxes don't always feel great, but the very fast respawn means you barely feel the pain of a death most of the time. The main story is quite short, but there are 30 extra hard bonus levels waiting for you when you complete it and gather enough collectibles, greatly extending the gameplay. All in all at the $6 price tag it's definitely worth the pickup and you are guaranteed a few hours of fun and pain while trying to 100% the game.

Fun precision platformer with great art
