in the past


I’ve been following Young’s work in the mobile space for a while now, starting with Fowlst — his chaotic take on Downwell — before moving into the Dadish family of games. Believe it or not, Dadish puts the player in control of a dad who is also a radish in a quest to save his extremely disobedient radish children from increasingly more difficult platforming challenges. Dadish has always been the gold standard of mobile platforming games, taking and running with the baton forged in the fires of Vlambeer’s Super Crate Box in 2010.

2023’s Daily Dadish features 365 levels, each only available for 24 hours and condensing the “just one more level” dopamine hit of the original trilogy into a score-chase joy that fits cleanly into anyone’s morning routine.

Cute art and simple controls but for the price I don't see it catching on in the daily game / Wordle sphere like other games do. Also not having access to previous levels feels a bit silly to me. Also not having leaderboards is a pretty bad choice for this game.

My controller wouldn't stay connected or register any inputs, I got the Star on my first try and then when trying to get the top time it crashed. It might be better on other platforms, but the PC version isn't great.

My nightly highlight, when winding down getting ready to relax. Me and my partner both play this daily and I'm always shooting to get them stars. The best $2 I've spent on the switch online shop.
