Really good, but my progress got wiped…
This game is so great! It’s very entertaining and I love it! Except for the fact that my progress got wiped for some reason… I had 32k coins and I was on reward 8 of golden knight event, and when I got on, I was on no medals, reward 1, AND 4k coins. I tried to contact support via the button, but the options don’t really let me select one. So I’ve emailed for support and awaiting what they say. But the golden knight event is almost over. And I’m starting to get worried. I feel like I got scammed over 2 week’s work of progress and my wealth just being 1/8 of what it was. I feel like they should fix their support option because the welcome bot kind of softlocks you in with no way to progress. As for the emails, this is my second day waiting for a response. I don’t think I can improve this as they have specific times and they are an Australia studio. But please Halfbrick. Can you try and make sure you look at emails and stuff like that faster? Whatever you can do for me, I am all for it. So keep on making Dan the Man great!
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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 😀
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!!
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
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
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.
