DASTARDLY

Dastardly is a fast-paced and chaotic local multiplayer arena combat game for 1 to 4 players. Travel across the Milky Way to face down other bandits. Jump, dash, and shoot your way to victory, making use of an array of powerups like shields, cloaks, and jetpacks.

Load it up and shoot your friends from the comfort of your own home.

DISCLAIMER

Listen here, pardner. I'm new around these here parts. As a humble part-time cowpoke hired on for the summer, I am ready and willin' to listen to your pointers. I know you ain't a greenhorn and can learn me real good. But I'm taking a starship off this dustbowl once the season changes. So don't get too attached, now, alrighty?

Translation: I don't have much game dev experience. Please leave a comment below or submit your feedback here,  as I am eager to hear it and improve. But Dastardly is sold as-is. I definitely can't guarantee technical support or ongoing development for this game. It's strictly a part-time hobby.
