--------------------------- The Game ----------------------------

Nano Dash is Boulder Dash like action puzzler game in the making but with a lot of new elements and also some metroidvania features like tiny story-line, power-ups and a lot of secrets and hidden caves. The graphics and sound is close to the one from the original C-64 Boulder Dash from 1986. Also the game-play is similar to the original. The player controls Nano, who must dig through caves collecting gems and diamonds and reach the exit, while avoiding various types of dangerous creatures as well as falling rocks or get killed by an underground explosion.

What is planed for a full version:

  • The Story Mode - Consisting of 4 to 6 worlds to explore, that has additional features, secrets and also a special new ability to get for Nano in each world. The Story Mode will most probably be progress oriented and not all worlds and plays can be accessed at the beginning but need some achievements to open them up.
  • The Editor - An build in editor where you are able to create your own world and possibly share it with others.
  •  New features and secrets, probably some "bosses" to fight.
  •  Sound, navigation and other improvements also depending on your input!
