Dashing Krew

Dashing Krew is a 2D physics-based puzzle-platformer. After crashing on an unfamiliar planet during a mission to return to the mothership, the player’s alien must explore the dangerous terrain to find a way back, with help from the rest of the team. Movement is described as chaotic and physics-driven.

Progress depends on using different UFOs and tools, each with its own behaviour. Bomb UFOs launch the alien from one point to another, Bounce UFOs send it flying at an angle toward a destination, Teleporter UFOs connect linked portals, and free-flying UFO sequences allow open movement. Other mechanics include abduction beams, lights, ropes, snow grinders and electrical devices. New UFOs, obstacles and environmental hazards are introduced every 20 levels. The campaign consists of handcrafted levels with secret coins, hazards and cutscenes.

The game includes a full in-game level editor that uses many of the same tools, UFOs, hazards, decorations, music and interactive objects as the main game. Players can upload levels online, browse and play community-made levels, leave reviews and compete on leaderboards. Coins collected in the campaign and online levels can be spent in a shop on cosmetic items such as hats and colours. The game supports keyboard, mouse and controller input, offers English and French localisation, and includes Steam Achievements. Further levels, mechanics and content are planned for future updates.
