Wyrmdash is a fast-paced adventure game where players control a mighty dragon to help a princess seek revenge, dodging obstacles, collecting coins, upgrading gear, and defeating unique bosses.
Wyrmdash subverts traditional fairy tales, featuring a princess who rides a dragon on a revenge quest instead of waiting for rescue. The story begins with the princess trapped in a tower; a knight arrives, steals the treasure, and abandons her. She quickly seizes a formidable dragon, embarking on a mission to burn everything and fight off rigid bosses. The game focuses on action and strategy, allowing players to experience the princess's independence and power while chasing knights through diverse environments.
Players control a dragon that digs underground and leaps into the air, creating a wave-like motion. The game includes various levels with unique challenges and environments. Players must dodge hazards like lava pools and spikes, collect gold coins to upgrade the dragon's armor, speed, and weapons, unlock new dragons, or equip power-ups. As the game progresses, players face bosses with unique attack patterns, requiring quick reflexes and strategy to defeat.
Hold the left mouse button or spacebar to dig deep underground, and release to make the dragon leap upward. This one-button control system allows players to build momentum for higher jumps, with precise timing needed to hit targets or avoid obstacles. The game emphasizes timing and accuracy to survive hazards and progress through the chase.
