  • Wanna dash with us? - 7 October 2020

    This is a frantic pixel art game about dashing through monsters with the proper colour to get higher combos and scores. For the Steam Game Festival we prepared an update for the demo and the single player mode in case your friends are still social distancing. The gameplay is entirely colour coded, meaning each player can only damage monsters highlighted in their colour. You need to attack monsters alternatingly and within a small time frame to kill them. Thus, xDasher evokes old-school couch co-op feelings, where players start yelling at each other, given the fierce battle against time, the hustle of aligning their tactics and knowing they will only make it as a team. The single player mode is perfectly suited to perfect your skills and climb the online leaderboard until you can beat the scores of the two top speedrunners from our community known under the nicknames rdy and rober. Wishl…

  • Dash, fight & fail together! - 16 June 2020

    This is xDasher. A game about dashing through enemies with the proper colour to get higher combos and score - and a game without any story twaddle. In times of physical distancing you can compete on the global leaderboard in single player mode or play with up to 3 far away friends via Remote Play Together. This demo features a couple of levels for single and multiplayer sessions. We also freshly reset the leadboards for the festival, so every new player and veteran dasher gets a chance to claim the first place. We are Pixel Beef Games. We love beef and we love pixels! Lena, Sven, and Peter are three students of computer game studies at the University of Bayreuth, Germany. There, our journey started, at the Franconian Game Jam 2019. The theme “Back to the couch” inspired us to come up with the idea of a classic couch co-op game where the players must work together to win. This was the be…

Short description

A couch coop game where 1-4 players set off into a dim dungeon. Your quest is to eliminate all monsters lurking within by dashing through the monsters with the proper color. Eventually, you will be haunted by a ghoulish, four-headed beast and must face it in a thrilling boss fight.

About this game

Talk to us About the Game Up to 4 Players Local Coop Over 80 handcrafted levels Single Player Mode Online Leaderboards Full Controller Support (mix and match XBox One, Xbox 360, PS4, and other) Simple Controls (2-"Button"-Game) No Story Twaddle Sit Back and Grab Your Gamepads xDasher is a frantic local coop game about dashing through monsters with the proper colour to get higher combos and scores. This is a game where co-op actually means cooperative, because all players share a health bar and any monster encounter requires every one to do their part. The gameplay is entirely colour coded, meaning each of your team mates can only damage monsters highlighted in their colour. You need to attack monsters alternatingly and within a small time frame to kill them. Thus, xDasher evokes old-school couch co-op feelings, where you start yelling at each other, given the fierce battle against time, the hustle of aligning your tactics and knowing you will only make it as a team. Unique Levels Each stage is hand crafted and each run consists of a number of randomly picked stages. The demo includes a tutorial and three levels. In the full game there are additional boss battles which put your team to the ultimate test. Online Leaderboards In the spirit of arcade competition, your team also fight for the highest score on an online leaderboard. As a team, you increase the score by killing monsters and advancing through the dungeon. Furthermore, each of your team mates can earn special awards to show off their prowess.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.99
  • Highest observed: $4.99

xDasher's USD price history spans from Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $4.99, the highest is $4.99, and the first visible tracked price is $4.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

xDasher's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99, from Sep 24, 2026 through Sep 24, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99. The latest run records $4.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $4.99
  • Current list price: $4.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records xDasher at $4.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
