Dadish Game Cover

Backstory

Dadish is a 2D platformer released by Thomas K. Young for Android & iOS in February 2020 and later ported to Console/PC. It is a simplistic pixel-style adventure game, and the first instalment in the Dadish series.

History

Dadish was added to speedrun.com on February 25th, 2020. The first run accepted to the leaderboard was All Worlds - Any%, Mobile, Possum Mode by Retrograde. A few other notable mobile runners started to run Dadish like zir0nic and kyraa, but a user named Mr_Poggers started to run mostly all of the individual levels and some full game runs.

In March 2020, a competition in the Mobile Speedrunning Discord was held: fastest time to beat the 2nd world "Strando Beach" which kyraa would win. In early April, IGT was added to the game. Prior to this, IL runs were timed with RTA. New players started competing in ILs such as Emrald and Aero, figuring out new strats. Later that month emrald would hold 40/40 IL any% site records.

The game was added to cyberscore.me.uk on May 10th 2020, and a new player ItzKy took over a majority of the records. Neropse also joined that month, and after improving would start to take over the leaderboards. In July, a discord for Dadish Speedrunning was created. Later that year, a new player Timael got a few IL WRs. Neropse and emrald created a WR Progression Spreadsheet (now out-of-date)

At the start of 2021, another competition was held in the MSD: fastest time to beat Abaro Woods with Radish. Many new players in this competition - such as KKntucara, daanolav, TheNameless, Sxk, egg4059, Flewb - picked up the game and would find a lot of new strats and improve a lot of the records. After the competition, it was felt that the character variable of Radish or Possum should be made into their own subcategories on the leaderboards. egg4059 would set a lot of new IL records over the year, and new player Xiv000 would take over a lot of the Full World categories.

2022 would see a battle for the Full Game record between Xiv000 and AEForce, taking the time down from 23 minutes to sub 22 minutes and currently 21mins 29sec. Some more new players joined taking records such as Monkeytron, Justin_sr, Supernova and later that year Taekwondonuts, who dominated much of the IL leaderboards and in 2023 eventually taking the full segmented IL time record from Neropse who had been consistently improving times since starting. Later in 2023/24 Sunshard would almost completely sweep the mobile IL records and Full World records.

There are 3 different category splits for the type of platform you ran on. They are Mobile, Consoles/PC, and Web (Ususally played on POKI). The categories are very split and runners who run on one platform, usually don't run on any other ones. SunShard is dominant in the Mobile category, Taekwondonuts is dominant in the Consoles/PC category, and GrandMasterMario5000 is donimant in the Web category for Individual Levels. GrandMasterMario5000 also had multiple full game world records in the Consoles/PC category. The Console & PC ports of the game include an extra mushroom-themed world with 10 more levels.
