Daiichi Dash

Daiichi Dash is a 2D twin-stick Jump’n’Shoot in which you guide Aiko on an adventure through a warped, mutated Japan. She travels through a magical forest populated by mutated animals, climbs electric pylons in the Japanese Alps and faces moles in dark underground caverns. Along the way, she uses her weapons and her Grandfather’s Scan-Device to find a way through the world.

Weapons and gameplay

Aiko’s weapon arsenal lets you take on enemies, while her Grandfather’s Scan-Device helps you find a route through the mutated world. Gameplay includes puzzle solving, auto-scroller action, SHMUP sections and other elements.
