Dream Dasher is a pretty hand-drawn 2D platformer where you dash nonstop in order to progress- as you may have guessed from the title of the game!

Well, it’s not really nonstop. You have to time it in order to get across gaps that fall into the endless abyss in order to make it through each level. Each level has multiple branching paths with plenty of goodies to be found. You’re a small ball who can roll, jump, and dash, and you’ll need to utilize all of your abilities to make it through the game’s levels.

The artwork for this game is gorgeous. It’s truly hand-drawn with amazing sprites and animations. The game has 6 levels to play through with one boss level to get through using an overworld hub with plenty of cute NPCs to talk to and areas to explore. You’ll feel like you’re playing a mix of Sonic and a bit of Mario (old-school) as you play through the game. You’ll also have to kill enemies. Every one you attack grants you a shield that blocks a single hit. It’s kind of cool.

Some levels are easy, but others are hard. You’ll have to combine your attacks together in order to get across some gaps in the game, which will net you a nice score to gloat over.

Overall, Dream Dasher is a fast-paced and pretty platformer with quality and polished gameplay. Try it out if you like platformers with some pretty artwork.

Bounce the Raccoon is a stylistic fast-paced platformer that’ll instantly remind you of Sonic.

It has a hand-painted visual style with a side scrolling raccoon who must traverse the world of whatever through many platforms, pits, gaps, and fast-paced zones.

You literally roll up into a ball like Sonic and roll through the levels like a crazy animal. It’s similar to Sonic, but it feels a lot faster and has a bias towards smashing various objects and such. The game just consists of one level but it’s huge. You’ll have to navigate traps, jumps, and even puzzles all in one freakin’ game!

If you like old-school Sonic platforming, try out Bounce the Raccoon!

Fast Food is a weird and crazy runner game where you play as an onion riding on a rollercoaster network.

You’re riding on an avocado and you need to stop a leek from stealing the only water supply in the veggie world. The game is largely an action adventure based on reflexes where you’ll have to jump between tracks on a huge rollercoaster and turn switches, avoid pits, and fighting some weird and epic bosses while you’re at it!

The game is divided into two worlds each with their own goals like shooting objects, solving puzzles, and exploring the area. The whole game takes place on a rollercoaster network which is huge and spans over both worlds and you’ll have to find out how to navigate it. You can jump, boost, shoot, and jump tracks that are parallel to yours. But be careful- timing is everything and there are plenty of hazards all over the tracks you need to watch out for.

It’s hard to play and there’s a learning curve. It feels like playing Sonic on a very, very long stretch of action command jump scenes. You may end up going around and around until you figure out where to go. Fast Food is definitely worth a play though. It’s fast, fun, and full of food. It’s one weird game.
