    So like with a 10 year old discord account I would have to have made this private NSFW server that I now don't have access to at age 7 for this to make any sense. Very cool @discord.com , remember when I bought Dandara from you guys with real money because you said you'd be a game storefront?

    ... hmm... Last night, I started a new indie game, "Dandara," a Metroidvania that... sort of plays like a 2D Gravity Rush? Its big mechanical hook, you see, is that you can't run or jump. Rather, you fling yourself bodily at any surface that'll support you, like Spider-Man.

    I finished Dandara. A game that has a lot going for it, an ethereal atmosphere and an ambitiously fresh idea for its movement system, which sadly at odds with how limited it can be in combat, resulting more frustrating than it needs. A nice potential, albeit limited by a bit of design wonkiness.

    The next game we're talking about for WOFF is Dandara, which I've never heard anyone talk about, and is really interesting from an adaptation perspective. It's an ios metroidvania that I played on switch so the ios allowances are mostly sort of annoying?

It's a dream to whiz through the environments after clearing them, and it's so unique in that that I highly recommend it. Also, black protagonist!

    I just finished Dandara Trials of Fear. What a beautifully crafted game! The control is snappy and smooth. The level design is creative and fun. In addition, I love its music, especially the hidden realms. I almost missed this gem when I first tried it a few years ago because life was chaotic then!

    What is a game that barely anyone has heard of, but you like it because it either did something really interesting in terms of game design, or spoke to you on a deeper level? I think Dandara is great. A zero-g metroidvania you you jump from wall to wall to explore a cerebral cyberpunk dystopia.
