What players say

Players describe Default Dan as a platformer that flips Mario tropes upside down, making coins lethal and enemies deadly to jump on. They say it is short and challenging, with a dark world that many dislike. Controls have some jank, but players enjoy the difficulty once they adjust to the subversions.
