About this game

"As a metroidvania carefully designed with both touch and gamepad in mind, we considered how you could achieve exploration and fast action using either input. The result was a gravity bending world where movement is comprised of jumping from surface to surface in lovingly crafted environments. It's up to Dandara to restore balance and give direction to a directionless world!"

Pros & Cons

Pros

Gravity-based movement connects floors, walls, and ceilings.
Interconnected areas link movement-focused exploration across the world.
Detailed pixel art supports Brazilian-inspired imagery and surreal atmosphere.
Ability upgrades open previously inaccessible areas across interconnected regions.
Music and atmospheric sound accompany the game's strange world.

Cons

Aiming and jumping controls can feel awkward or imprecise.
Combat and platforming punish mistakes with difficult encounters.
Confusing navigation requires backtracking through movement-heavy areas.
Combat and boss encounters are less polished than traversal.
