Dine & Dash

A 16-bit side-scrolling platformer starring Dash, a real dog, and his beagle sister Dolly — running as a genuine SNES ROM on a real SNES Classic.

What it does

In plain words.

Six in the morning. Half a cup of kibble. He has concerns. That is the whole premise, and the whole game is built around it: kitchen, back yard, dog park, bathroom and the pantry ending.

Original code, original pixel art, original music and sound — no commercial ROMs, SDKs, BIOS files or proprietary assets anywhere in it.

It runs on a physical SNES Classic and as a browser build for development.

The value · before and after

What changes for you.

Before
A "we can build anything" line on an agency site.
After
A working 16-bit game on the console it was written for, verified byte-for-byte on the device.
Before
Stock art and a template.
After
A real dog as the hero, and every sprite, tile and note drawn and written for this one game.

Why it is worth it

Versus doing nothing.

If your product needs something nobody sells off the shelf — a console game, a piece of hardware software, a thing with no template — this is the proof we finish those.

Straight answers

What it does not do.

Zones one to three were not replayed against the current ROM and no human has tested the pantry bag budget yet — it is a real project with a real to-do list.
