Amazing Retro Game

There’s a great deal of fun to be had with Dan the Man. While the premise is simple - fight opponents and clear them out to advance - the formula doesn’t get stale because of the variety of opponents as well as how difficult they get as the game goes on. That, and there’s a surprising amount of depth in the storyline that even tackles mature themes, yet it never loses its retro feel. People might complain about the ads, but to be frank that’s what you should expect from a game that is free to download - the devs have to make money somehow if you’re not gonna pay. I mean, c’mon, you pay the price of a burger value meal to enjoy the majority of the game, and the DLC is reasonably price too. I’ve logged hours on the survival mode alone, and there are some console games I paid 60 bucks for that didn’t give nearly this amount of fun - nor for the same amount of time. Ultimately, I feel people whining about the ads are just too cheap. You pay for what you get, and if you don’t pay then you need to support the devs another way. Ignore the whiners, and give this game a try if you want to play a good platformer to kill time on.

Half brick never seizes to amaze

Half brick studios is know for such classic titles as jet pack joy ride and fruit ninja the pioneers of the mobile market still going strong but things have changed since my day there’s more ads and micro transactions in movie games than ever so much in fact some games are unplayable but the ogrinal games are pure with fun for half an hour those pick up and play games are childhood and Dan the man will be part of a new generation of mobile gaming fan the man will be one of the best in the gen apart form jet pack 2 due to all of the other games being pay2wins now I know this game has ads and stupid microtransactions but it’s more than usual keep the ads down halfbrick I know you need the money but don’t shove ads in faces DURING GAMEPLAY I haven’t played this game in a few months since I now have a console but my main complaint is ads otherwise this game is pretty solid it can be cringey at times but mostly just fun I like the retro theme of halfbrick games and this is no step down from quality but it isn’t really a step up either I hope in the new multiplayer mode things work out but this game still has its flaws TL;DR cut down on ads old halfbrick is was better but this game is alright

I lost half of my data...

Well first... let me start off by saying, that I used to love this game. Sure, it did have a lot of ads but it still didn’t bother me that much. I got “Dan the man” 4 years ago and worked hard to complete the adventure mode, story mode, and upgrade all the weapons and characters. It was pretty fun! Now I’ll get to the main part: One day I deleted “Dan the man” only for a couple of days. I wasn’t worried about deleting the game because I had done it many times before and when I installed it again, it would restore all my previous data. But this time... something else happened. I got the app back, opened it up, and went to the character selection. That’s when I found out that my characters and weapons weren’t fully upgraded which I thought was strange because before I deleted the game all characters were at level 16 and all weapons were maxed out. After finding out that my characters weren’t level 16, I went to check adventure mode. When I went in to adventure mode... I WAS STILL IN THE BEE ADVENTURE INSTEAD OF THE LINCON ADVENTURE!!! It was very frustrating because I had spent 4 YEARS trying to upgrade everything, beat the game, and get all golden trophies in adventure mode. Halfbrick, if you are reading this review, please help me in anyway possible to regain my data. Thank you for reading this review.

The money I spent and progress I made

This is an amazing game and I’ve had it for a long time now but there’s a lot of things you got rid of. One is getting rid of saved progress. A lot of people deleted the game and lost all of their stuff and it happened to me too. I beat both adventure mode and was just grinding to get everything maxed out then I deleted the game cause I thought nothing would happen to my save then I lost everything. Even the premium I paid for got lost. I don’t know why you got rid of this mechanism to save your data but you did and now almost everyone lost everything. And also I can’t restore purchases which is stupid because now I can’t restore my premium that I paid for. If you wanted people to continue playing then you would’ve kept all of this but no. You just had to get rid of these essential mechanics for whatever reason. I loved this game but now it’s something I don’t want to play anymore. Sure a lot of fun things were added but it would’ve been a lot more fun if I had all of my progress. I get that this is your game but you got rid of so much and I can’t just ignore it. I spent a lot of time and I spent money on this and it all just goes down the drain. Fix this or I don’t think I’ll be playing this game anything soon and I think a lot of people agree with me

Really good game, just a few things

I totally recommend this game to people who have other games to play. Ones who have very little games and less patience.... no. The thing is, the game has a REALLY long timer for each level, making you wait. I wouldn’t mind like 1-3 hours, but it has like 11-12 hours for each level(but the levels are long, and you can replay them). Also, for each checkpoint, there is usually an ad. 9/10, you get to a checkpoint, there is an ad. It should only be half of the time, and not on levels you have already played. Another thing is that the adventure mode, for the levels you have to have Barry, you can’t level him up unless you pay for him or do the 5 friends thing. So it makes it impossible for the silver and gold trophies to be won in the adventure mode unless it’s really good or your skilled. On last thing, when I try to use the skip 60 min. thing for the timer, it never works. And it’s the game for sure, because I have a well taken care of iPad Air 2. Besides those things, it’s a great game. I love it, and will continue to play it. But I speak for most people, please do something about the timer, at least. Thanks for the great game. PLZ UPDATE

Great game but...

Dan the man is a great game. I’ve played other games that are alike such as apple knight. But it isn’t like those other games. in this game it gives the characters life. Like the two guys who run around trying to take on things as well. It’s fun getting to run around and beat things up. The knock back or the stun feature when you hit an enemy lets you hit them over and over makes you feel unstoppable. And the videos really explain the story and give the game and characters life, it also makes you care for Dan and the goal he’s after. What could be better is the money grab. Once you get to the main levels you get a timer after beating levels and this really makes me sad because it ruins that unstoppable feel to the game. I don’t mind the ad statues because it doesn’t make you watch an ad but please get rid of the timer. That is my criticism for the game, but again there’s something about running around and beating every living thing up that makes me laugh.

Unplayable game

Now I know you guys have made the masterpiece that is Jetpack Joyride but this game, while fun to play, gets very annoying. First off, there are way too many ads in this game. Every new checkpoint, every death, every mission start, EVERYTHING involves watching an ad first. It’s horrible. I can’t even play the game. Second, I can’t even play the actual game because I have to wait a whole day before being able to do another level. That’s so crappy. Especially since I need to do levels to get gold and level up my characters to get more gold. Without high level characters I can’t play the adventure game modes. Third, the game tries to force you to pay $5 for the 4th character by keeping him at the lowest possible level so you can’t complete the adventure game modes and get the reward chests. Fourth, the game constantly freezes so I have to restart it all. Overall the game mechanics are fun but the amount of flaws in this game make it completely unplayable. But I know you guys aren’t going to listen to this because you can’t take criticism. However I would absolutely love if you proved me wrong. First step of doing so, don’t give this some stupid copy pasted response. Second step, fix your game. Thank you for your time

But why?

What happened to this game? I was bored a few days ago ago I re-downloaded this game to occupy me. First thing I noticed was multiplayer, and I was really happy because I’ve been waiting for that feature for quite some time. Second thing I noticed was the ads. There are SO MANY ADS. It’s terrible, every mission start, end, checkpoint, EVERYTHING INVOLVES AN AD BEING PLAYED. The third thing I noticed is while playing survival, you don’t instantly get revived by the revival potion like you used to, now it’s either watch an ad, or die. The forth thing I noticed was that while playing the story, when you unlock a new level, you have to wait 4 hours to play that level. I don’t understand, why would the devs do this? Just why? This game used to be my favorite game to play, if you can even call it that anymore. Now it’s just an ad fest. Yes, 2.99 to remove ads really isn’t a lot, but I don’t see the point in paying to play a free game.

It’s alright…

The first add i saw for this game was dan the man punching somebody at the bar getting arrested and failing to escape, and i THOUGHT that’s what the game would kind of be but no. You see i thought the game would be this one big multiplayer and single player game with a big city that you roam and get to talk to people and make choices, but then i download the game and it’s just a bunch of mini games and fighting some guys with police gear and weapons. It got incredibly boring after an hour of playing it, and then… the little pop up ad in the game telling you to play adventure mode came up and i said to myself oh heck yeah! This is what i saw in the adds! No… it was even worse than the main game. But hey i can’t hate on this game to much i love it’s style, and the character creation, and the leveling up thing, the fighting mechanics and the animations it’s definitely a hidden gem it’s just i don’t like the main stuff. No hate to the creators or developers for this games they did an awesome job and the game is pretty cool just maybe next time add some actual gameplay in your adds please. Thanks

What happened to Survival Mode?

I am a long time player of DTM. I prefer playing survival mode over the other game modes. In survival mode, you played for tokens and you cashed in tokens for coins or power ups. The last time I played, there was no limit on the amount of tokens you could win. Now you can only win 3 tokens every 8 hours or so. Now there is no point to playing survival mode! The tokens you won basically replenished your power-ups or the coins you spent on weapons or health throughout survival mode. It would be better to give less prizes when you redeem the tokens than to limit the tokens received every 8 hours. Currently, the most you can win when redeeming a token is $250 in coins, 3 tokens or a power-up. Please reconsider going back to have survival mode was originally-- allow players to accrue tokens throughout the game without a token and time limit! I spent more in-game currency before the limit and I also purchased more tokens too. Now, I only want to play (not really because it's not fun) once a day, whereas before, I played for hours! Sincerely, Longtime Player and Fan of Halfbrick!!

Just a great game.

I love the style of the games you make, halfbrick. And this game is an example of that! The humor and art style is amazing, I love the characters, and it’s pure fun. Just wish for something though, remember age of zombies?(r.i.p. btw) The two player mode was really fun! Maybe you can bring this to fright zone, or that you can fight friends locally and online? It’s just a suggestion though. Anyways, THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!!! And now we’re finally in 2020. I’d like to see some changes to the costumes for the custom character. For example, I recently got the kings goon, and I thought it looked weird seeing an enemy without a knight stick(the weapons the enemies use), so maybe you can consider giving some custom characters weapons based on the costume. But the weapon wouldn’t deal extra damage, it would just look a LOT more stylish. And, once again, thank you for the great game.

worst platformer ever

this is stupid. way too hard. the third boss is way too overpowered i can’t even dodge him. he just teleports on you and does a ridiculous amount of damage. the second boss is doable, but frustratingly hard. also, I have to wait half a day to play one level. this is way too frustrating and time consuming. adventure mode is UNDOABLE because I need to pay $5 to even get barry to upgrade. you will always die on the adventure levels because you can’t buy barry to upgrade him. play if you want to not have fun and hate your life. this game also is just bad because it’s always too easy or too hard. some parts feel like it’s mario and you are playing as nabbit and some parts feel like you are fighting the radiance in hollow knight. sometimes the enemies TRAP me with infinite hitstun. sometimes the buttons do nothing. sometimes I hit the enemy 5 times in a row but does not get stunned. and no it was not a shield enemy. oh yeah. did I mention how repetitive this is? it’s so boring and every enemy seems the same with different health being the only difference. wanna know A GOOD PLATFORMER? Dadish. Dadish is a masterpiece with almost no ads, good difficulty spikes, unique bosses, and cool mechanics. AND DID I MENTION THE ADS? EVERY CHECKPOINT.

Would have rated 5 star but

I think the timer should be shortened because I see no reason as to why there is such longs ones for levels in the first place. Please cut us some slack with the ads on this game, I don’t mind them but it gets annoying when you are connected to internet and get ads for every little stop. Jet pack joyride is really good and this game has potential to be as good but needs some tweaking. I’ve also noticed that in this new update there is a glitch where your coins sometimes don’t save and are gonna when you exit multiplayer mode. It’s very frustrating because I could have had much more coins than I do have and upgraded stuff way faster. I do enjoy this game and the new update a lot but please take into consideration of the feedback, if you need the ads for money to maintain the multiplayer servers than I don’t mind that at all but the TIMERS in sorry and adventure need to be reduced, and that new glitch needs a looking at. Anyways continue on working on this awesome game!

AWSOME GAME!!!! With some suggestions

I just got this game, and it’s already an immediate keeper. I also like jet pack joyride, but about this game, the graphics are awesome! The only issue I have Is the ads.. I understand there is a premium subscription, but I’m only 12 and don’t got a bank account and its just annoying how many there are in some places.. and also I feel like it takes to long to even get up to 250 coins. I feel like the clothing for the avatar maker in this game are to pricy. I also think that there needs to be something to do without WiFi, that doesn’t cost coins. So other than those suggestions this game is very enjoyable! Keep making games like this please! And one last thing, I’m trying to get Barry, but every time I invite a friend, it doesn’t work, I’ve sent 6 messages to friends and it won’t give it to me. Another thing is that when I break a statue and I get a gun/ weapon and I’m in a low ceiling place the gun gets stuck in the ceiling and I can’t get it.

This game has to many advertisements now

This game is good and all, but they are more ads now than the last time I played this game (which was 2019). Here’s what I think should change: make items also allowed in shops and not for ads. They should be randomized in my opinion so it’s all based on luck. Let life potions be adless. This is definitely one of those games that can become hard as you go on in a more intense way, but making the life potion with advertisements seems greedy. It maybe should have the life potions be a freebie then when you die for the second time, you can use a ad, and then the third time, you die. Also the game after I level a level always shoved the VIP gift in my face. It’s not pleasant that the game always wants me to make to money and it seems like the game is more of a cash grab then letting the player enjoy themselves. This game has potential to be good and I hope you don’t take advantage of it in the future. This game is good overall.

2 months ago, Please read mine please.

The games ok but..

The game in general is good, the storyline and the characters are fine. But my main problem is the fighting part of the game, or more specifically, survival mode. Sometimes the game won’t let me attack when I can and able to, sometimes when I hit the attack button it doesn’t attack, also most of the time when I hit the attack button it will turn my character the other way and attack which gets me killed, another thing is that there are ZERO token people so I can’t get tokens. I waisted so much time for nothing in survival mode. Game has also gotten too hard at some points and keeps on killing me not letting me attack which is VERY infuriating. This has lead too ruin most of my relationships with friends and family. So please make the zombie and winter mode easier.

Pretty dang good!

Hey there people who want a new game! So dan the man is really good, a 2D platformer. So what you do is your trying to overthrow this king. And basically, you play the level to upgrade your different characters. The thing is really quickly you have to wait for like 24 hrs (no joke) for the next story mode level to unlock. However you can watch ads or get premium for $4 but if you wait a bit u can get it for $1. Also before premium I hated that I had to turn off internet to not watch ads. But other than that it’s pretty good. Also devs I really wish you wouldn’t make the timers on story mode. It’s actually kinda pathetic to get an easy four bucks. Also devs it says you get “unlimited free continues” but you get a free revival and the next death is death so could you please fix that. The final boss on hard mode is WAYYY too hard though. I can survive until he gets half health, and then he does 2 attacks at once. Anyways this was a long review so it’s a good game 😀

Good game but it is lousy with problems

I love this game to death but there is only one problem: THIS GAME IS A NIGHTMARE TO PLAY! also why is it that when I reach a checkpoint there ALWAYS has to be an ad!? And adventure mode just loves to taunt the players with no money by forcing them to play as Barry and also I got no money for Barry and the premium so I’m basically just trying to have as much fun as I can while playing which is very easy to do and on top of that I can’t play the fight zone story mode or the frosty plains story mode like it’s some kind of dlc! Did I really just put all that into one sentence? Anyways this game still is really fun to play, the story is good, and it feels like super smash bros’ classic mode and that mode is well, classic. And like I said I love this game to death to the point where I’m revisiting all the previous levels for absolutely no reason whatsoever and online mode is my favorite part of the game. That was one sentence? Dang.

Good game but a few suggestions

So just to start off, the gameplay is super good and creative, just about everything is 10/10 here. But there's something that I've noticed that may not be seen as a problem by other people. Every single character in dan the man is white. You can't even make your customizable character anything but white! It's a simple fix, add skin tone and hair texture options. And i don't mean add a skin tone option that you have to pay for, or hair textures that you have to pay for. But for the base character, have more options of hair texture and skin tone. All it does is make the game more accessible and not continue the cycle of little black kids feeling like they aren't normal enough to exist in a video game. For me growing up, seeing black characters in games and tv shows made my day, month, entire year even, just because it let me know that I was normal, and that this game was made for me in mind too. So please, add skin tones and hair texture options.

My opinion

Before reading this just know I have sacrificed 3 dollars to get premium, so this is my opinion of the PREMIUM version of the game. But I’m just going to say this game is great. It is fun and the mechanics are easy to use. The use of multiple modes is cool and the story is great too. But no game is perfect and I have my problems with it. Number one is the fact you need to buy Barry. Now this wouldn’t be a problem but even with premium you still need to buy him for 5 bucks, and you need to buy him to upgrade him for when you use him in survival mode or he’ll be at level 1. Number 2 is how short the game is. I know that there is survival and (insert game mode name I forgot here) but the main game is shockingly small. I got this game a few days ago and I only have one world left to beat. So yeah that’s my opinion on dan the man. If you are reading this just know I’m not that smart and I probably forgot something, so yeah I’m dumb bye.

A Masterpiece Being Held Back

Dan The Man is an amazing game, that can be compared to beat-em-up games of the old. And is probably one of the most real games I’ve played on a mobile device. But the overwhelming amount of ads you must watch Destroys the flow of gameplay! Every technical thing in this game requires you watching an ad, want to save progress? Ad. Need a little weapon or health from an item station? Ad. NEED TO PLAY THE NEXT LEVEL? AD! It’s to the point that this is the only game where I have found myself considering to buy a lackluster add on just to get rid of ads all together. To sum it up Dan The Man is a stellar game but the amount of ads is unbearable and destroys the flow of gameplay, and could’ve been handled much better with it maybe showing up in the pause screen or before and after a stage. It’s worth the try but if you are not someone fond of the waiting in many mobile games then it’s not worth the time.

THE BOSSES ARE TOO HARD

Ok I’m a kid who had a lot of fun playing these kinds of games and when I found this one I knew I had to try it. It was fun at first but after the third boss everything was near impossible to defeat, even the underlings. When I got to the fourth stage It was mostly running and less fighting, and you only had like 3 seconds to hit the boss (if you were even able to get to him) and you never even got the satisfaction of seeing him defeated, some other guy that looked like him just attacked him and you ran away. Now the last boss... IT TOOK ME LITTERING MORE HALF MY LIFE TO FINISH THIS BOSS!!! THE ONLY WAY YOU WIN IS IF YOU HAVE LIKE 1 BILLION GUNS TO HIT HIM WITH WHEN HE IS DOWN. (I got to calm down) and when you attack him it only deals like 15 damage to someone who has like 500 health. I loved the game but the level of impossibility of the boss is really turning my day around. To the developers... PLEASE MAKE THE BOSSES EASIER. I would not even wish this upon my worst enemy and I would wish a lot of things upon them. To the developers again, please make the bosses easier.

A little problem..

I had been playing this game and had been playing its for the longest, it’s my favorite! game on my phone but there a little problem...it has made me lose my progress sometimes, my game would sometimes freeze (crash) which is not a big problem to me because the gameplay is amazing with the action but when I am playing the game it crashes which make me have to reopen the whole app. And I have to start over or go back to the checkpoint to story-mode, but when I was playing a mode that was on the title screen, it randomly stopped and crashes. I try to play with that still going on. This game to me is the game I play everyday and all I want is to fix the crashes to make better gameplay and no more bugs.

Great side scrolling beat’m up rpg

This game harkens back to the old days of double dragon. It’s a Side scrolling beat’m up that sprinkles in weapons and power ups as you play at just the right frequency to keep things fresh and fun throughout. It does not take it so seriously and at first feels like a kids game, but it grows challenging enough to engage A more mature audience as well. There are even some time trial and survival mode as well. There are plenty of micro transactions available but with a little patience, you can unlock most of them without paying so it doesn’t seem like a Cash grab at all. My grade school age children and myself all love this game, so it is good for any audience. Try it today excellent for a free to play in this genre.

Two problems

The first problem that gets really annoying is that when you kill enemies that give multiple coins they spray those coins to either side, this doesn’t sound bad until half of the coins you get from an enemy fall into the water an become irretrievable. This becomes especially bad when prize tokens from the survival arena fall in the water... the enemy that gives them is a rare spawn. The other problem is gating each adventure challenge behind a 24 hour cool down... I understand gating them for 24 hours in sections. But either way there is no way to time skip, not even watching adds. The annoyance that people have with adds is petty, developers have to make money, and the adds either give you something or become skippable most of the time. I don’t have premium and have had a great time with the game.

2 years ago, Refund Me or Give What I Paid

TO THE DEVELOPERS

I’m giving this a 3/5 because I start the game off amazing, so much that I couldn’t help but purchase the premium. Now I’m on an apple device which means a notification is supposed to pop up on your phone saying “purchase was successful your all set!” But when I went to purchase the premium ads still showed up after everything ! , this is such a good game but please fix this ! Because I didn’t type this review until the SECOND purchase incident and this was twice in the same day and no money was refunded to my account and I basically bought NOTHING and got NOTHING back. The second purchase was the 0.99 cent for 1,000 in game coins and I got nothing back and I don’t wanna keep spending money on this game if this is how it runs for me please get back to me I wanna make your game better I hope this review helps you guys fix it.

Great but,

I love this game but there is one major problem and a nitpick i have. Major problem, when you start a level of any kinda, could be endless, you can get a ad. This in itself isn’t a problem, but sometimes it doesn't pause your game. This happened several times during endless and I died because when the ad was over my character was dead. Thankfully i found exiting and going into the app without resetting it causes the game to pause even if there is a ad playing. A very small but obvious nitpick, Dan’s charge punch’s first picture is of a kick instead of a punch when he punches, and the upgraded version where he kicks is a picture of a punch. This is a very small but obvious swap error and I hope it gets fixed. Love the game and more people should play it.

Nice game but a game-mode can be modified

Hello, I have been playing Dan the Man for quite some time and have enjoyed its lasting gameplay, style, and enjoy the fact it feels like a retro game in general. Once I beat the game I played the game-mode where if you beat every level you can get a free DLC. Soon after playing I have realized how they find a way to halt your progress in such a way, the way how is by making a difficult level and making Barry the character. Soon after seeing this I can see the only way to beat it is by relying on power ups or buying Barry so you can level him up to make the level much more easier. So I am just asking if you can please try to find a way to get rid of this blockade and make the mode easier to get through to try and unlock the DLC. -Max

Great game however the boss fight on 8-2-3 needs to be nerfed.

At first when I downloaded this game, I enjoyed the many different levels and the bosses you had to encounter until 8-2-3. The task was simple, hit the head of the boss to win. However, the developers had made this boss extremely overpowered and to hit his head multiple times, you had to do the following, avoid the cannon shot. (Which was long range) avoid the dogs that attack you (which can stun you) and, avoid the boss from ramming into you. At one point the cannon, dogs and the tank was all attacking me at once and I was somehow excepted to be able to defend against that all at once. I’m seriously considering deleting this game since this boss fight is near impossible. All I’m asking is that this boss gets nerfed. Until then, I probably won’t consider playing this game due to the difficulty. Thanks for reading this and have a great day!

Absolutely phenomenal

This has quickly become my literal favorite mobile game of all time thanks to arcade-style graphics, the incredible controls, and the great music and sound effects. However, nothing is perfect. Two issues: 1) The DIFFICULTY SPIKE. MY GOD. This game has a very consistent execution requirement minimum, right up until the last The Finger Of God. Why did HalfBrick design those levels to be so difficult? 2) Everyone in this game(including yourself) has a case of superhero syndrome, which means when something is getting shot or weakly hit, it’ll just... float there briefly. You can do cool things with this, including an infinite height glitch, but... why? Those are my ONLY complaints. If you haven’t played the game yet, just go... go and play it!

Could’ve been great

I love these platforming games but this one doesn’t live up to other platforms. The controls first off are great, I don’t get to buttons mixed up often. The gameplay is the worst in multiple ways. The game never has cool little things that make certain levels stand out between the rest. Celeste, for example, has different objects and mechanics that make the game cool and memorable. The fighting is always repetitive and nothing cool is done to make the bosses different from the normal enemies. The difficulty is always overwhelming and is either too easy or too hard. The story is okay nothing revolutionary. The last world has the best levels and still isn’t very clever. The game is filled with secrets that are way to difficult to find most of the time and I’ll be spending minutes just to find a secret I know exists. I know a lot of work has been put into this game, but all for the wrong reasons.

Too many timers which force you to wait or purchase to u lock all levels

I’ve been playing Dan The Man for about a month or two and it’s been a stress reliever..kinda because the one thing that triggered me was the timers that they would put on levels. When I was playing the story, I got to the castle and then it had a Timer which made me wait for a certain amount of time, so me being triggered I went to adventure mode and it was really enjoyable but guess what happened when I got to the baud adventure another timer but this time it said a whole 2 DAYS I had to wait just to play one level like cmon if you want ppl to enjoy your game at least put a lower price or make them wait for at least an hour or two because I wouldn’t want to wait 2 days to play one level. But overall it’s a decent game.

Sorry this is long but here out my idea

These are just things I thought of you can use these ideas if you like or not. I will still like the game. I tried Barry out before and his move set is awesome but when I got the game and finished the prologue and went to the character select I was disappointed to see that it costs money and the other way to get takes way to long so my idea is too still have those two ways to get him but with yet another way to get him make him able to buy with coins but with a high price just like the ninja suit for the custom i have other ideas but this review is getting to long so I will continue this another day. Ps I was playing on my friends phone when I tried Barry

Certainly resembles retro games

**BUY PREMIUM. IT IS LESS THAN $5 AND YOU SHOULD SUPPORT DEVELOPERS** I beat this game twice for what it’s worth. Fairly solid game, controls were nice and fluid and I never felt like I had misinputs outside of grabs, which is still better than other games Hitstun was fairly inconsistent which can lead to confusing moments such as being hit by projectiles, and the grab mechanic felt too stingy which made me randomly use grab attacks. Taking a lot of damage because of cheap enemy hordes with pits nearby created frustration. Difficulty spikes are everywhere. Especially on bosses. Upgrades use gold which adds RPG elements and grind. The grind is super steep if you’re into that. Custom character and Barry are nice touches with unique styles, even if one is a clone character. Bosses were meh. It’s similar to old games where you memorize attacks and then dodge, but sometimes there weren’t great clues which leads to trial and error, which while not bad, makes bosses feel lazy. The final boss in particular is super long for no reason outside of dodging more convoluted attacks before you counterattack. Unfun boss. 3/5 because difficulty spikes felt rampant and harsh. Grinding for upgrades is really slow. Everything else seemed fun. Dan is a funny character.

To meny adds

I don’t know what happened to my favorite pixilated Ninja friend, Dan. The game play is still amazing and fulfilling but I'm frustrated that there are so many adds. I am fine with the adds that don’t affect gameplay and are instead there to help players if they get in a tough situation like if you are down on health and need a chicken leg you watch a 30 second add to help with your problem. However it is mandatory to watch a 15 second add at varies save points through out different levels. You may be watching 2-3 different adds through out a single level. I love Dan the man and it’s plot and every battle it brings but I hope to see the game improve its add policy. I’m done ranting now, sorry. -A Dan the Man lover and long time fan

Amazing but have some ideas

The quality of the game is amazing the game and its storyline is thought out this game is VERY entertaining but I would like that players could fight PLAYERS and even friend them I would love to see this happen because your fighting people instead of computers and maybe we can have team and you would be able to play with your friends or sibling again the game is amazing even the computers know what there doing when they fight it’s not just like there easy to defeat but I would be fun to play with real people because you would be able to talk to your siblings while you defeating them or loosing towards them love the game keep it up please consider my ideas thank you for your time

Fun for mobile and I have ideas for 2

This game isn’t really as wacky creative as other games but as a mobile game it’s excellent, I’ve had my moments of totally zoning out while beating dudes up. Also pay for it as the ads and timers ruin it and it’s only 5 bucks. I’m mainly writing this to say it would be awesome to have online and local multiplayer in the main story because survival mode multiplayer gets lame fast. Halfbrick, I get that you’re working on some excellent looking projects right now but at least add this in dan the man 2. Also think outside the box for future enemies. My idea for one is a big guy who takes damage from hits but isn’t stunned and can’t be knocked down by most attacks. Thank you for reading halfbrick.

Great but too many ads

I checked the app store for good apps with only a little bit of ads, But when I checked the games I found a lot of ad rains like Bowmasters, Elemental Master, Kick the Buddy: Forever, Sword Play, and so, much, more. But when I searched up “Fighting games” this game came up and I was excited to find an arcade-style game on the app store, so I played it, and it seemed like every other level I got ads. So that's why I rated this game 4 stars. Message to Creators of Dan The Man: Hey! I love your game. Can you at least remove ads when you're in a level and just have ads when you are not in a level and just have rewarded ads? (ads that are optional to watch and you get a reward out of it) You can still make as much money.

A New Classic

I first got this game when I was really young, maybe 5 or 6, and I didn’t get the story at all. Nevertheless, I had an absolute blast playing it, I felt like the coolest person every time I played it on my parent’s phone. I played it all the time until my parents got a new phone and I forgot the name. Still, I kept trying to find it when I got my own phone, and I still felt the same about it. Of course, now they’ve expanded the game and really had it take shape, and I don’t really mind the ads, since it’s a lot less compared to a lot of other free app games. Overall, I love this game, and it’s definitely a must play for anyone who likes retro arcade style platformers.

I love this game

This game brings joy out of me. But you know what doesn’t bring me joy? Jetpack Joyride, i understand its peoples childhood game but i never seem to find enjoyment out of this application. I know games are meant to be repetitive with different elements, but this was just too repetitive and its just not that good in my opinion. I know jetpack joyride is an old game and it has really simple mechanics but its just “too” simple. And this is why i think dan the man is better than jetpack joyride. P.S i am not hating on jetpack joyride just putting my opinion on it out there, so i will go back to playing dan the man because i have spent way to long writing this review, thank you😄

Too Many Ads

I get it, you made an awesome game and should be paid. If the ads weren’t so overwhelming, I might actually spend a few bucks. But the ads are overwhelming. 5-6 ads each level, ads at the end of the level, and when you die, there is an unskippable promotion to watch yet another stupid ad. This game is hard and can be frustrating. But that’s part of the fun. I feel accomplished when I get tough trophies. But, if I have several ads interrupting each level, my frustration increases to a point where I don’t want to play the game. If I am THAT frustrated, I’m not spending money on it. Decrease the ads on the free version. You don’t have to get rid of them completely, but decrease them. and for the love of god, after I die, don’t make me wait to start again.

First of all, this is a great game with tons of things to do and interesting characters. The problems I have with this game just out weigh the benefits. The ads in this game are just over excessive, every death, every checkpoint, every time I want to play a level early, I have probably watched over 500 ads in just 2 weeks of playing this game and already beat hard mode. I feel like the devs are just trying to become millionaires from this ad revenue. And the game basically forces you to buy Barry steakfries to beat adventure mode even though I’m on the 4th adventure without spending a single penny. You can’t even complete all of the achievements in this game with out spending a few dollars because Barry. I feel like this game is trying to squeeze every single penny from the players to become rich. If your going to make this much money, then at least use some of it to donate to charity

Really entertaining

I think the game is awesome, with the new things added especially when there was a way to get Barry for free. I also love the design of the Robots their pretty cool. It was cool to know that the game was a mini series I think it was a great idea to tell us that, so that way we know what was going on. One last thing to say the customs are great right now I have the shark costume and it’s good. But one thing that I feel this game needs to add is more enemies because this games enemies is just guards, animals, and robots so I hope that you guys add more enemies. Anyways overall I had fun with this game so if I rank this by grade and rank I’d say A and 9/10. Keep up with the good work I hope you add more than 3 types of enemies.

Awesome game, just the timers

Game’s fantastic. I’ve loved it since it came out and have always gone back to playing it to try and find every secret item and unlock every suit. It’s fun, challenging, and simple. I don’t even really mind the ads. What bugs me is the timers for the new adventure mode. I get that it helps encourage people to buy premium, but having a twenty for hour wait to get to the next level of the challenge kills the fun completely. Five hours would be totally understandable and ten would be a little cumbersome, but fair to premium investors, but twenty four hours is a bit overkill. The timers for the story line levels can go down with ads, and that works for me. If the developers fix the timers thing with adventure mode, it’ll be five stars for me.

Halfbrick has come a LONG way

I always had liked their Jetpack Joyride and hadn’t played it in years. I saw the graphics and immediately knew it was my same favorite company that created a game I spent so long on. I downloaded this and played for about an hour and all I have to say is a few things. 1) Halfbrick fell from grace. The amount of ads placed in the game every checkpoint is frustrating when I have to take a 30 second break in the middle of gameplay multiple times per level. 2) The whole pay to win aspect is really getting old now. I understand people like to make money off their products but when the quality of your game deteriorates based on your ad revenue and a system that forces you to watch advertisements is really annoying. Especially since every game you advertise has essentially the same marketing strategy of ad enforcement and pay to win aspects. 3) The game in itself is really fun. I enjoy playing the game but when you have to wait for a half hour in between levels that you can play through in a few minutes THAT really doesn’t sit well with me. All in all I think this company has gotten lost in what they used to be (that being quality retro style games) and now I won’t be supporting these developers any longer. Not worth my time to play or pay.

A lot of fun! Just a few things that bug me...

I ended up paying for premium, which wasn’t that expensive, and i really enjoy the game! I’m working on completing hard mode now! The things that get to me is that half of the moves I can upgrade I barely use because I don’t have the time to! If I have 10 enemies coming at me, I don’t have time to charge up a power attack, or even a sucker punch. So I feel like having those power ups don’t really help me with my game play. I also wish there was more of the story to play! Survival is okay, although I never really get anything from the token machine, 90% of what I’ve gotten so far has been 50 coins which I feel like is a rip off, and I don’t even really get anything from survival mode in general. And the adventures are tedious because I have to power up multiple characters just to get gold in them, and if I’m trying to do the story and level up the main character I use, then I feel like I’m wasting money trying to level up other characters just for the adventures. HOWEVER! I LOVE this game, it’s super addicting and I think it’s so much fun! I just wish it was longer!
