How does your submission match the theme?
Boldly DASH! has two main mechanics: shooting, which damages enemies from a safe distance and regains health, and dashing, which puts you in peril but deals massive damage, refills your ammo, and builds up your NUKE-o-meter. This encourages players balance resources, go aggro and make the most of their dashes, then know when to pull back and recuperate.

Engine partly based on the wonderful work of Ben http://www.heartbeast.co/ whose YouTube and Udemy tutorials were absolutely required for me to complete the game. (I am a complete novice - this is my first ever game!) I modified and added to the shooter engine code extensively, and produced all of the art, music, and sound effects myself. Game programmed with Game Maker Studio Professional.
