Dan The Man

Description

Dan The Man: Action Platformer, developed by Halfbrick Studios in collaboration with Studio Joho, is a vibrant retro-style platformer that combines beat-'em-up mechanics with weapon usage, all wrapped in a humor-filled storyline inspired by the original Dan The Man web series. Featuring classic 16-bit pixel art and fluid combat, the game invites players to step into the shoes of Dan, a reluctant hero fighting to save his village from the oppressive King's forces. At the start of the game, the Prologue—comprising levels 0-1 through 0-3—serves as an essential tutorial that eases new players into the game's core mechanics while advancing the narrative. Prologue 1, titled "TROUBLE IN THE OLD TOWN!", introduces players to fundamental controls such as walking, jumping, attacking, and interacting with objects like breakable vases. Set in familiar locations like Countryside and Olde Town, the level also familiarizes players with collecting coins, utilizing checkpoints, and encourages exploration through hints from the recurring duo, the Geezers. The stage sets the tone with a cutscene about rising conflict, motivating players to join the Resistance's efforts. Prologue 2, "USE THE FORCE... OR GUNS!", expands gameplay by introducing ranged combat. Players learn to wield shurikens and encounter a variety of enemies including Baton Guards and Shield Baton Guards. The stage also introduces more advanced weaponry such as RPGs and rifles, and invites players to explore secret areas, including an intriguing cloud platform hidden zone. The Geezers guide players toward the in-game shop, highlighting resource management and upgrades. The level closes on a suspenseful note with the Resistance struggling against a nearly invincible Shield Baton Guard. Finally, Prologue 3, "LEAP INTO ACTION!", teaches players how to overcome shielded enemies using the Power Attack mechanic and attacking from behind. Equipped with throwing knives, players face the challenging boss fight against the Forest Ranger, a formidable foe terrorizing villagers. Despite the Geezers’ failed attempts to help, Dan emerges victorious, though the victory is shadowed by the King's Guards plotting to resurrect the boss into an even greater threat. This Prologue sequence effectively combines gameplay training with storytelling, preparing players for the adventure that unfolds in the main story mode.
