Nano Dash is an action puzzler game, strongly inspired by the classic Boulder Dash for the Commodore 64 released in 1986. But with a lot of new elements and also some Metroidvania features like tiny story-line, power-ups and a lot of secrets and hidden dungeons. The graphics and sound is 8 Bit like and close to the one from the original.
You play as Nano and are ready for new big adventures. You have heard of very promising stories and legends that lead to unimaginable treasures and artefacts that will give you powers you never thought of.

Nano must dig through caves and dungeons, collecting gems and diamonds and reach the exit, while avoiding various types of dangerous creatures as well as falling rocks or get killed by an underground explosion.

The Story Mode - Consisting of 6 worlds to explore, that has additional features, secrets and also a special new ability to get for Nano in each world. The Story Mode will most probably be progress oriented and not all worlds and plays can be accessed at the beginning but need some achievements to open them up.
