What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“DASH: Danger Action Speed Heroes is a world consisting of user-generated levels. Early Access is perfect for building the database of epic levels prior to the official release. As a player during Early Access you will be shaping the world and leaderbords which will be the basis of the final release. We will use feedback and ideas for the implementations we wish to put in the game during this stage.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect DASH will be in the state of Early Access for a minimum of 5 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The experience in the full version should be based on the users efforts to create great levels and runs during Early Access. The Early Access build is based on the DASH Dev Team's and the community of already existing DASHers' levels and high scores.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Since fall 2018 we have been working on the servers, the gameplay, design and mechanics as well as audio effects and soundtrack. Everything has been shaped up to offer a full experience of both the creative as well as the competitive side. Everyone can join in and immediately create new worlds or challenge themselves in the Speed Leagues. Already now (early 2020) the game has a variety of tilesets, backgrounds, enemies, combos, power ups and last but not least heroes!! Keyboard or gamepad-based action and level editing. A very huge thank you to the DASHers on our Discord! (invite below)”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We expect the final release to be free-to-play with the option to unlock the full game or parts of it for a price. Right now we see the EA ticket as a donation to give the project some thumbs up and support.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“So far the community of DASHers have helped shape everything from the game mechanics, the UIs to (well, of course) the world we're running around in. This important part of DASH will hopefully continue in an even broader manner once the game officially launches in Early Access. The game's atmosphere is all about creating and sharing stuff which is what we are hoping the period of Early Access to be all the way. Together we will shape the game, the world and the leaderboards in the Galaxy of Speed. Welcome to DASH: Danger Action Speed Heroes.”

“What is DASH: Danger Action Speed Heroes? If you like a lot of Super Meat Boy and speed running levels then this is for you.”
Opium Pulses

“I've had a lot of fun with the previous builds of the game and there's now a ridiculous amount of levels available to it, some made by the developer and plenty others by actual players. It's pretty damn impressive really!”
