We are honored! Our operatic side-scrolling shooting game Black Bird has just been nominated for best sound design by CEDEC, Japan’s game developer conference awards!

Hello to all friendly onions across the world! Today, we are pleased to announce… Dandy Dungeon will be released on the Nintendo Switch everywhere in the world in just a few short weeks — on June 27th, 2019!

Please enjoy the first look at our nostalgic and super romantic rogue-lite RPG in motion, with our new trailer up above, and over here at our brand new website! The trailer features the smooth vocal stylings of our super-secret mystery guest singer, Nagasa Bonus! Man, those pipes… perfect for coding a game to…

So, how do you play Dandy Dungeon? By using either your joystick, or touching the screen on the Nintendo Switch itself, you trace a path through all the twisty little passages, from the entrance to the exit, and then watch Brave Yamada-kun venture through the dungeon himself, making short work of all the monsters, traps, bosses, and other hazards before him.

You can intervene in the action at strategic points to heal Yamada, cure his poison, or cast spells to make sure he lives to dive even deeper. Plus, you get a big bonus if you manage to navigate every square of the dungeon floor all at once!

That’s just the beginning, though: as Yamada gets better at the game, he levels up in real life, and learns to implement even more features into his game. Suddenly, all the dungeons are randomly generated and different every time you play!

Using the loot you grab in each world — even old useless junk you thought would never come in handy — you can upgrade and enhance all your weapons, shields, and matching outfits to unlock new abilities, and get deeper into dungeons than you ever could before!

Plus! The Nintendo Switch version of Dandy Dungeon will include an all-new world leaderboard! You can compete with your friends to see who’s the bravest Yamada-kun around, and show the world which gear is best for each dungeon. There are so many combinations… even we don’t know! But we know it won’t take long before you show us!

It won’t be long at all until you’ll be able to pre-order Dandy Dungeon for the Nintendo Switch… but until then, why not come tell us how excited you are by joining our new Discord server for friendly onions? And look forward to more dandy news, very soon!
