So here's my take on Dan the Man: Action Platformer. I've tested a bunch of retro-style platformers and this one's one of the better ones I've come across. The graphics have a great classic feel and the gameplay is tight and responsive. I like how there's a decent amount of depth with the leveling and ability system, but it never feels overly complicated. The multiplayer is a really nice addition that adds a whole new layer of fun, especially for couch co-op. My only real gripe is that the upgrades and progression can get a bit grindy at higher levels, but it's not a dealbreaker. Overall, if you're a fan of the genre, this is a pretty solid pick.

I’ve been playing Dan the Man: Action Platformer for a couple months now. It’s basically a classic side-scrolling platformer game with a retro pixel art style. Honestly, it’s pretty solid if you’re into that kind of thing.

The main gameplay is all about running, jumping, and punching your way through levels filled with enemies. There’s also cool boss battles and a leveling system where you can unlock new fighting moves and abilities. The recent multiplayer update is a really fun addition – you can team up with a friend and take on levels together. Just search for a match and you’ll be brawling with a random partner in no time.

Look, if you’re a fan of old-school platformers, you’ll probably dig this. It’s not perfect – the upgrades can get grindy after a while – but overall it’s a really fun game. Worth checking out, especially if you’ve got someone to play with.
