Dash to shoot. Become what you kill.


Click to dash. It's the only way to move, and you only fire while moving. Every shape you kill drops shards. Collect them and you take that shape's power. 

FEATURES

- One-button control: left click to dash

- 7 enemy shapes, each with its own behavior and its own power to steal

- 7 powers, and each one evolves at level 5

- 5 stages with elites and bosses

- Combos, grazes, Overdrive, and an endless mode after your first win

- Unlock new starting cores with the shards you bank between runs

CONTROLS

Left click: dash. Esc: pause.

SETTINGS: volume, screen shake, flashes, and graphics LOW for weaker PCs.

Early Access To Full Game

Support this game at or above a special price point to receive something exclusive.

Full Game Early Access (December 2026)

I'm making DASHARD on my own. If you enjoyed the demo and want to help me keep going, this is the best way to do it.

What you get:

- the full game as soon as the first early access build is ready (planned for early 2027)

- every update after that, free

- your name in the credits

The demo stays free no matter what. This is just for people who want more of it and want to back it early.

Thanks for playing. Seriously, it means a lot.
