Daily Dadish in IOS

Game Ideas

I love the Dadish games, and Daily Dadish is no exception. The concept, while still a new game, is great. It makes me want to see what fun levels come out each day. I do have some suggestions. These aren’t likely to be added, but here they are. The first is a calendar system where you can see days you missed, and notifications when that day comes back. This would allow player who completed almost all the levels remember when to come back, and feel a sense of accomplishment when looking at the wall of completed levels on the calendar. Another is unique holiday characters and variants. The holiday characters could cost more, and only be unlocked on a certain day. This allows players to feel like they have unlocked a rare item. Variants are my final idea. After unlocking all the characters, maybe players could have secrets for each character. For instance, if you give enough stars to Dadish, then he could have a secondary skin. This could be something small or large. For small, Burgurgular Jr. could lose his hat, and for big, Dadish could unlock one of his baby radishes. Maybe you could bring Cowboy or Big Boy back in this way. This game is so fun, and I know these won’t be implemented. I just wanted to share my ideas to a few more people. Thanks for making such a great game series.

So Challenging Yet So Fun!

Ok, come one come all, as I will talk about this amazing game. Basically take the difficulty of Super Meat Boy and add the wonderful graphics of a pixelated game like Crossy Road, and you get Dadish. With just a small pinch of the daily level element, this game is born. Daily Dadish is a very challenging game, and yet even when I complete the level, I say to myself, ”Dang, only a couple of seconds off of gold!” “Let me try again.” This cycle repeats until I finally have that sweet gold medal. But then I see the star and I need it. So I try again and again, laughing at my silly mistakes and coming up with a strategy on outrunning that darned spike wall or just barely reaching that balloon. Daily Dadish is for the speed running community. People saw Dadish and speed ran it, and the devs looked and listened to the fans. The soundtrack is amazing as always, and the dialogue between Dadish and his children are just so funny! One of the dialogues is in the jungle where one of Dadish’s sons asks if the mud is just blended up bugs 😆. The only thing I have bad is that there are ads every 6 or so attempts. I know you have to make your money but if you put it at every 15 attempts, it will be fairer to newer players, or players that are trying to get a star. Overall, keep up the great work!

Some (hopefully) helpful suggestions!

I love the Dadish games and had only recently completed Dadish three. My brother introduced me to the game and I just love playing them! One thing I’d really love to see is an online leaderboard (either through Daily Dadish or through Apple’s Gamecenter) where one could see other’s fastest times for the daily level! This would be a great feature to add to serve as a way to see what the fastest possible times are. Another feature that you could add is a secondary level that could be unlocked on certain days by using stars or paying money. (This may be a bit unrealistic right now, just a suggestion) One last feature I would recommend adding to the game is making the dialogues at the end of each level skippable after completing the level once. For those of us trying to finish the level quickly, it can be a little time-consuming having to click through the dialogues every single time. But all in all, great work! Can’t wait to play some more Dadish!

I’m so grateful for Dadish.

I am blessed to be the first review on Daily Dadish. After finishing Dadish 3 two days ago, I thought, “Well now what?”. I truly thought the saga ad ended, my own screen time said the Dadish trilogy took up almost 6 hours. Then, I saw, “Daily Dadish, most likely coming February 8th, 2023”. I was so lucky to have found completed Dadish 1, 2, and 3 before getting to enjoy Dadish every day! The feeling after finishing off the Durnak and Kanurd, I felt quite incomplete yet accomplished. I even got my friend addicted to this game as well. Anyway, I was so excited to see that Daily Dadish was downloading only an hour before 2/8! I have played the first level and feel honored to be here from the start. Thank you Thomas Young, for creating such a masterpiece of a world. Truly an ingenious idea and mind…. 🥹🥹🥹 I didn’t even have to play 2 levels of this game before I knew I’d fall in love. Heck, I didn’t even have to play the first level! February 7, 2023, a remarkable moment. Feels like a birthday present!

Mostly Great, but Flawed

Vast majority of levels are great. Challenging, but fair. It’s supposed to be difficult. However, there are a handful of levels (usually the ones with unique mechanics, like today’s underwater level) that are just too different from the usual formula. The problem with this is the necessity to relearn the mechanics. Timing is not just different, but completely throws you off to the extent that most of your usual gameplay habits will end up killing you. And there are generally no good cues to assist you. This individual level then requires as much memorization as the entire collection of typical levels. That’s not fun, especially for a daily game. Let’s be honest, we don’t want to spend more than 5-10 minutes on each day’s level to achieve the performance that we’re used to. This type of problem is one of the worst in games. It only happens sometimes, but feels like a slap in the face by the developers. It’s either sloppy, or an overreach in the philosophy of the gameplay. Difficulty spikes are tricky to implement and (when incorrectly done) can yield this type of response.

Love it

Try to top the leaderboard daily. This game rules! I have played Dadish religiously and this newest game is the best yet. I love having a global leaderboard. Could something like that ever be added to Dadish 1-3 as an update? My one request: please update the “share” text message so that it doesn’t have the link to the app. It is very annoying because every time I text it with friends, it sends a whole second window with the iOS AppStore for Dadish (because of the link). I know it’s nice to share the link, but I have a group chat with 5 friends who all play daily and every day we all share our times to each other. Every time I share, I have to manually backspace to remove the “download to compete <url>” message and it’s annoying. I don’t know what’s worse, having to backspace it everyday, or having to deal with my one friend who doesn’t backspace it and spams our group text with the iOS AppStore thing.

Love it!

I fell in love with the first Dadish game when it released and since then I’ve played all of the releases as well. I was so thrilled to see daily Dadish on the AppStore and I love the whole premise of there being a new level every day for the year. It’s a lot of fun and I’m glad that these games are being played. If there’s maybe one thing that could be added I think it would be cool to have like a library where you can go back and play levels you already did before. I saw one comment talking about using stars to unlock secondary levels so building off that idea, how about instead in the library you can use stars to buy levels that you didn’t get to a play before. So for example, In the library the days I didn’t play are locked but can be bought for x amount of stars. Just and idea, love the game overall!
