About Default Dan

Coins make you explode? Spikes make you bounce!
All of this is normal in the world of Default Dan, a new indie platformer that flips the genre upside-down! Everything in the game does the opposite of what it appears. By using your own instincts against you, Default Dan aims to provide a humorous, mind-bending experience that anyone can enjoy.

In this world, looks can be deceiving. Dan’s dimwitted best friend has been abducted by a mean-spirited little princess. In order to rescue his friend, Dan must defeat the princess and her army of cute minions.

Everything is backwards: Coins, power-ups and hearts are deadly, while hazards and enemies help you out. It might sound simple, but you will have to retrain your brain and think backwards to survive!

Over 20 stages of pure mayhem await across 4 different environments - new mechanics are introduced along the way to keep you on your toes.

Compete with others for the fastest time. Every stage in Default Dan supports time-ranked leaderboards.

Collect all 27 Steam Achievements by completing unique feats throughout the game!

Original Sound Track by "brentalfloss": Brent "brentalfloss" Black lends his musical talents to the game!

✦ AI summary

Players praise this game for its clever subversion of Mario platforming conventions, deliberately inverting familiar mechanics and muscle memory to create a uniquely challenging and mind-bending experience that keeps them engaged. However, common complaints center on the extreme difficulty, confusing level design where standard platforming knowledge actively works against you, and frustrating mechanics like coins being hazards rather than collectibles. The game is described as pure chaos that will test your patience, though fans appreciate the trollish, unpredictable nature as part of its appe

Buy this game. This game stays fun to play because it never gets easier! It challenges decades of muscle memory, and I hate it. But I love it. We loves it, precious.

Default Dan is so incredibly obscure and looks like it came out of Scott Cawthon's mind right before he made FNaF, and yet its probably one of the better indie platformers ive played. Is it kino? Nah Is it Groundbreaking? Probably not i mean depends what you mean There are 900 worse ways you can spend 6 bucks, i do recommend giving it a fair shot.

I played this game on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwHyq2xm9dk&t=4s Default Dan is pure evil! This game takes your basic Mario platforming knowledge and gives you a big ol' middle finger. EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG. I seriously questioned my existence for a for the first few hours. You want some coins? NOPE! They make you explode! Jump on top of an enemy to kill it? NOPE! You're dead! Read the signs to help you out. NO NO NO!!! They are trolls! Pits? Oh yeah you fall and come out the top of the screen! Spikes? Oh, they are bouncy! Oh you made it to the end? Let's do the gyan gyam style dance. Like WTF is going on?! This game really messes with your mind and muscle memory. It takes a lot of practice to get it down. Also... THIS GAME IS REALLY REALLY HARD! Yup..... RAGE GAME BABY!! This game is really rage inducing. But, this game is also very fun and addicting. And It's so satisfying when you beat a level. I finished the main game. But, I never completed the dark world. It's complete BS! Or maybe, I'm just bad. This game is completely obnoxious. I would for sure recommend anyone curious, or dumb enough to try this game.
