• Dadish 4 marks the newest chapter in Thomas K. Young's acclaimed platformer series
• Step into the shoes of Dadish Junior as he battles the sinister Homeowners' Association
• Navigate 50 challenging stages filled with food-themed foes

While everyone has their favorite mobile series, here at Pocket Gamer we've noticed Thomas K. Young's Dadish franchise standing out. The latest installment arrives just in time for the holidays, with Dadish 4 launching on iOS and Android on December 18th.

This time the story takes a twist – when Dadish gets captured by the villainous HOA, it's up to DJ (Dadish Junior) to journey through 50 action-packed levels to save his father.

Players can expect the signature platforming action the series is known for, complete with food-inspired enemies and bosses. The game maintains the trademark Dadish humor throughout the adventure.

In my view, the Dadish series often gets overlooked amidst more experimental platformers. While others reinvent the genre, Thomas K. Young specializes in creating authentic callbacks to platforming's golden age.

The series has explored new territory with entries like Dadish 3D and Dunkadillo venturing into 3D gameplay. But for longtime fans, Dadish 4 returns to the classic 2D style with enhanced pixel art and expanded content.
