This is out since May and was free several times but it seems like no one noticed it. It's a level based runner/swimmer/diver.. you tap on top of the screen to jump, keep holding to fly. By tapping the bottom of the screen you dive. Long story short, this is actually a great game, it get's challenging pretty soon. There are "only" 20 levels in 5 different worlds each with a different look and different enemies/obstacles. But you can replay every level in race mode where you have to race against an evil "guy" to win the golden egg. It's a great game and well worth the download.

It's still a pretty decent game. I'm not sure I'm a fan of the control scheme... I'm mixing it up after some experimenting with my left thimb doing the up moves and right thumb handling the down moves. This works pretty well. I started out playing right thumb only an ended up blocking the screen too much. I say, give it a try if you like race/level based runners. Also the achievements do have decent points attached unlike a lot of games. Andre Well-Known Member Apr 11, 2012 3,643 2 38 #12 Andre, Nov 2, 2013 The graphics look fun. Hope that the game is funny, too. NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #13 NOEN, Nov 3, 2013 This was such a fun game that didn't get much attention. Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #14 Greyskull, Nov 3, 2013 Hate when game models change. Often going free means "adjusting" iapp prices. nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #15 nightc1, Nov 3, 2013 It may be fine. I do have over 8k to spend. But if I get all golds inthe first world then I get a really great duck to use for free. I may just have to spend to get a duck worthy of finishing those last two races (or just make fewer mistakes). tunaVille Well-Known Member Jun 10, 2013 144 0 0 #16 tunaVille, Nov 3, 2013 Last edited: Nov 3, 2013 This game rocks PERIOD. I'm a little surprised of the knit pick. Maybe it's just because this is right in my wheelhouse. I love how you can hold the sur button and fly rather than simply jump, or stay swimming. geets very very fast. I had to work on my reflexes. Eye hand coordination beauty, and pretty darn cute if you like cute Habakuk Well-Known Member Dec 11, 2008 4,779 9 38 Vienna, Austria http://rossau.wordpress.com #17 Habakuk, Nov 3, 2013 Highly recommended!

Thanks for posting sink_or_swim. It's amazing that this went unnoticed indeed. Thanks dev for making it free. I'm sorry that that's what apparently had to happen for us to notice this. [update]I'm now in chapter 3 and it gets a bit more difficult and I had to upgrade my character. That was easy with the coins I earned in the game, but I now wonder if I'll reach a paywall soon. I want to pay for a game I enjoy, but I am not going to buy virtual currency, and I'm also not interested in the IAP for the super powerful characters, so, despite loving the gameplay, I'm having some reservations. There is an easy difficulty option, so it's totally possible that it is easy for most people to finish the game without IAP. ryansumo Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2012 104 0 16 Freelance artist Manila http://ryansumo.blogspot.com/ #20 ryansumo, Nov 8, 2013 Considering that this only has one virtual currency and not two or three, doesn't force you to wait, and has no ads, dropping 99 cents as a thank you to the developer doesn't seem like asking much. Of course I'm a developer so I'm rather biased, but unfortunately we're forced to do these things even if we don't want to. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)

I checked some review from previous version http://www.148apps.com/reviews/dash-bash-review/ Seem they changed the design to Premium instead of unlock full story style.
