The gameplay in Dadish 3 retains the charm and simplicity of its predecessors while introducing new mechanics and level designs that aim for variety. However, many players find the gameplay slower and more frustrating due to longer, more challenging levels and bugs that disrupt speedrunning. Overall, while the game offers clever design and humor, it suffers from a lack of polish and cohesion in some levels, leading to mixed experiences.
“It continues with the general style of gameplay of the previous games (Dadish, Dadish 2), while adding in some new elements.”
“The interesting mechanics come from the level design, which is clever and tries to explore every use and combination of every new (or old) element.”
“It's funny, cute, difficult, has collectibles, a timer option, and another character to spice up gameplay once you think you've done it all.”
“Dadish 3 takes one step forward from the other two previous games by providing a bit more detail and gameplay variety, but overall takes two steps back due to the inferior level design and setup.”
“Gameplay felt slower than previous entries, and to make matters worse, levels are on the longer side and are designed to be more challenging, which, instead of introducing a fun mechanic, ends up slowing gameplay down considerably.”
“A lot of the early levels feel like mediocre community-made levels with no cohesion or much testing; some of the game mechanics, like the small bubbles, are incredibly frustrating instead of challenging.”
