Dashosaur DX

About the game

Dashosaur DX is a short precision platformer for the Gameboy.

You play Roxy, one of the last living dashosaurus of this era. She is known for her powerful dash ability. Guide her through the valley to a safe place while a volcano suddenly awaken.

This is a GameBoy port version made with GBStudio of one of my previous game jam entry Dashosaur. It started as a "what if I port it to GameBoy?" one and a half month ago, and here we are today. 😊

How to play

You can play directly in the browser, even via your smartphone.

Or you can download the rom file (.gb) and play via an emulator or directly on a physical device supporting these files.

The Sameboy emulator is a very good example. It runs on PC, Mac and Linux, is free and very easy to use.

Please note that the ".pocket" file is specific to the Analogue Pocket console and will only work on it.

If you are on a PC and prefer a native build, you can download the Windows archive. Unzip it, and run the .exe to start playing instantly.
