xDasher

This is a game where co-op actually means cooperative, because all players share a health bar and any monster encounter requires every player to do their part. The gameplay is entirely colour coded, meaning each player can only damage monsters highlighted in their colour. Players need to attack monsters alternatingly and within a small time frame to kill them. Thus, xDasher evokes old-school couch co-op feelings, where players start yelling at each other, given the fierce battle against time, the hustle of aligning their tactics and knowing they will only make it as a team. of aligning their tactics and knowing they will only make it as a team.
In the spirit of arcade competition, the teams also fight for the highest score on an online leaderboard. As a team, players increase the score by killing monsters and advancing through the dungeon. As an individual each player can earn special awards to show off their prowess.
