Dash Hale
A downloadable game for Windows
INHALE.
SAVE THE WORLD.
EXHALE.
REPEAT.
Who needs weapons when they can control the ground they’re on?
Better still: why not have both?
Dash Hale is a combat-based runner with roguelite elements set in a dynamic, freely rotatable world: speed up or slow down by changing the ground incline, turn it into a steep slope for sliding, or leave it altogether and drop all the way down - bringing your enemies along.
Hunt bloodthirsty zombies in a pirate ship, survive rebellious machines in feudal Japan, face hellish demons in the cyberspace and escape giant rotating blades... everywhere. It may not make much sense, but you won’t have the time to miss that.
FEATURES:
- Swap between short and long-range attacks, upgrade them separately, get new abilities and rotate the world at will;
- 10 kinds of enemies, 10 corresponding levels - mixed together at the beginning of each scene;
- Unlockable Boss Rush mode;
BEFORE YOU START:
- Take a look at the How To Play, it's short and has everything you need to know. Jumping right into the game may be confusing about controls / objectives.
- Also, be sure to check the Settings for optional controls when using a controller, see what works best for you.
- Speaking of controllers: yes, they do make a difference. For now, keyboard controls are arrows + ASDF only and offer no customization.
- If the game looks too dark for you, use the outline control in Settings to make enemies more visible. The game looks better with minimal outlines, but is easier on the eyes with thicker ones.
