Dare Forward
DARE FORWARD
Field order: one rifle, five grenades. Take the four territories.
A one-soldier, flick-screen raid in the style of the classic arcade commando games. Push north one screen at a time through enemy ground, clear each garrison, and secure all four territories before you run out of lives.
FEATURES
- Four territories: Oasis Cut, Walled Mile, Blackwater Span and The Redoubt, each with its own ground and layout.
- Rescue prisoners: blue uniforms are POWs. Free them, and never shoot them.
- Grenades: start with five and find more in the field. They arc over cover, but your own blast will kill you.
- Trenches stop rifle fire, for you and for the enemy.
- Bridges are the only way across water, and the enemy knows it.
- Riflemen, snipers, officers, mortar crews and jeeps.
- Rank up from Trooper to Major as your score climbs. Your best score is saved.
- Hand-drawn pixel sprites and a synthesized arcade soundtrack.
- Plays in the browser with keyboard and mouse, or touch on phones (portrait).

- Fire: tap Space, you shoot the way you're heading (touch: FIRE)
