Dandy
Dandy drops you into a beautifully hand-illustrated Victorian world where appearance is everything. As a meticulously dressed gentleman, your mission is to gather as many top hats as possible while maintaining your impeccable style. The streets are bustling with charm, but also with mischievous pigeons that seem to have a personal vendetta against your wardrobe. Every step, leap, and swing requires care, as these feathered foes are determined to ruin your look. The gameplay blends precision platforming with a dash of slapstick humor. You'll bounce between moving carriages, vault over obstacles, and use your trusty umbrella to swing from lampposts, all in pursuit of the perfect hat collection. The physics keep things lively, throwing unexpected tumbles and near-misses your way. With its quirky personality and delightful art style, Dandy offers a refreshing, lighthearted challenge for anyone who loves a good dose of charm with their platforming.

What is Dandy
Dandy is a whimsical platformer that puts you in the shoes (and top hat) of a Victorian gentleman. Dodge pigeons, collect hats, and show the streets that you've got style.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move and jump, and press the spacebar to swing with your umbrella. Collect top hats scattered around the level while avoiding pigeons that will knock you off course.
Tips for Playing
- Time your jumps carefully when leaping between moving carriages to avoid a messy landing.
- Use your umbrella swing not just for crossing gaps, but also to gain extra height over obstacles.
- Keep an eye on pigeon flight patterns—they often hover near hat spawn points.
- Prioritize hats that are out in the open first; indoor ones are safer but slower to reach.
- Don't rush—mistimed moves often lead to losing a hat or taking a stumble.
Frequently Asked Questions

The main goal is to collect as many top hats as possible while avoiding pigeons that try to disrupt your progress. Each level presents a new layout with hats to gather and dangers to sidestep.
How do I control the character?
You can move with the arrow keys or WASD, jump with the up arrow or W, and use your umbrella to swing by pressing the spacebar. The controls are simple but require practice to master the swinging mechanics.
What happens if a pigeon hits me?
