Reviews
- The transition to 3D is smooth and visually appealing, maintaining the charm of the original Dadish games.
- The game offers a fun and simple platforming experience, making it suitable for casual gamers and newcomers to the genre.
- The art style and music are delightful, creating an enjoyable atmosphere that complements the gameplay.
- The boss fights are considered lackluster and not as engaging as those in previous Dadish games, with some being clunky and poorly designed.
- There are no checkpoints, which can lead to frustration, especially in longer levels.
- The game is relatively short and may feel overpriced compared to other platformers that offer more content and depth.

The music is generally appreciated for its nostalgic early 90s vibe and calming qualities, making it suitable for children and complementing the game's visuals. However, some players find it repetitive and tedious, especially after encountering the same tracks in multiple stages. Overall, while the music enhances the experience, it lacks variety and depth.
“I loved the music; it reminds me of early 90s era music, complementing the simple but sharp beautiful environments.”
“Very good for children with calming music, bright colors, and the like; I suppose that's the intended audience.”
“The music adds a nostalgic touch to the game, enhancing the overall experience.”
“When you see the same background, the same objects, the same enemies, with the same music for the fourth time in a row, it gets tedious.”
“The music is okay, but nothing to write home about. I found it a little repetitive, even though the worlds are only a few stages each.”

The game's humor is a mixed bag, with some players finding the dialogue amusing, particularly the exchanges between Dadish and the baby radishes, while others feel it falls short of being genuinely funny or resorting to typical dad jokes. However, the humor in the dialogue after saving each child is generally well-received.
“This game is really fun and hilarious.”
“The humor in the dialogue after saving each child is funny.”
“The dialogue, especially the conversations between Dadish and the baby radishes at the end of each stage, hits an uneasy middle ground. It's definitely not funny, but it's also not quite in dad joke territory where the quips are worth an eye roll. I really wasn't a fan of any of them besides 'What is the soup of the day?'”
“The humor feels forced and lacks the charm that makes dad jokes enjoyable. Instead of eliciting laughter, it often leaves you cringing.”
“While the game tries to inject humor into its dialogue, most of the jokes fall flat and feel more awkward than amusing.”

The gameplay is noted for its inventive design and familiar mechanics that create a sense of comfort for returning players, but it falls short compared to other platformers in the same price range, lacking the depth and variety of mechanics and enemy interactions found in titles like Orbo's Odyssey and Cornkidz 64. While it maintains interest throughout, the $15 price tag is seen as unjustified given the competition.
“They push the mechanics to their very limit, which keeps it interesting to the end.”
“Inventive design, but bringing back familiar mechanics in every new game so people who have played before feel more at home.”
“The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks innovation, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“The controls are clunky and unresponsive, which detracts from the overall experience.”
“There are too many bugs and glitches that disrupt the flow of the game.”
