Dandy’s World is a popular online game on the Roblox platform that mixes the friendly look of old cartoons with the thrill of a horror survival game. If you’ve never played, think of it as a blend of games like Bendy and the Ink Machine and Poppy Playtime.
Here is a simple, factual explanation of what the game is and how it works.
What is Dandy’s World?
Dandy’s World is a Mascot Horror Survival Multiplayer game.
Setting: The game takes place in the Gardenview Center, an abandoned studio for a children’s cartoon called “Dandy and the Gardenview Crew.” The setting is intentionally bright and cartoony but has a dark, spooky, and run-down atmosphere.
Characters (Toons): You play as one of the “Toons”—the cartoon mascots of the studio. You and other players must work together to escape.
Enemies (Twisteds): The main antagonists are “Twisteds,” which are monstrous, corrupted versions of the friendly Toon characters, usually covered in a black, oily substance called Ichor. These enemies will chase and try to eliminate the players.
The Core Gameplay: Survival and Progression
The main goal of Dandy’s World is to descend deeper into the Gardenview Center by completing tasks while avoiding the monstrous Twisteds.
1. The Main Objective: Fixing Machines
In each floor (level), your team of players must complete a set number of tasks, which involve fixing or operating large machines.
Completing a machine often requires collecting specific items (like VHS tapes) or successfully completing mini-games/skill checks on the machine itself.
Once all machines on a floor are complete, an elevator becomes available, allowing the players to travel down to the next, more difficult floor.
2. Survival and Teamwork
It is a multiplayer game, meaning you must cooperate with your fellow Toons to complete objectives and survive.
Players must use stealth and speed to avoid the patrolling Twisteds, who will instantly chase any Toon they spot.
Each Toon character you can play as has unique stats and abilities, which can help the team by boosting stamina, providing temporary invisibility, or helping with repairs.
3. The Currency and Lore
As you play, you collect resources like Ichor (the dark oil) and VHS Tapes. These items can be used to purchase new, better-equipped Toon characters or special items called “Trinkets” to customize your gameplay.
The game has a developing storyline and deep lore surrounding the cartoon studio, the Ichor, and the character Dandy (a flower-like mascot who can become an especially dangerous Twisted enemy).
In short: You are a cute cartoon character trapped in a spooky, corrupted studio, and you must work with your friends to fix machines and escape before the monster versions of your friends catch you.
1. Getting Started
here are some videos below to guide you through
Choose a Tune: When you first join the game, you must pick one of two available “tunes” (characters) to play as [00:58].
Enter the Elevator: Head to any of the three elevators, as they all take you to the same starting point [01:03].
2. Completing a Round
Find Machines: Once the doors open, search the map for machines with a red light on them [01:12].
Fill with Icore: To fill the machines with the black, gooey substance called “icore,” you must complete a skill check [01:19].
Skill Check Tip: Press the button when the moving marker is inside the calibration area. If you miss, a loud buzzer sounds, which the Twisted can hear [01:32].
Escape: Once all machines are filled, a timer starts. You must run back to the elevator as fast as you can before the timer runs out [01:43].
3. Navigating Challenges
The Twisted: These are the evil versions of the happy tunes that try to “crunch you” and turn you into icore [02:03].
Blackouts: These random events make the Twisted act crazier and make the round more difficult [02:30].
Progression: The game gets progressively harder as you move from floor to floor, requiring you to fill more machines while facing more Twisted and blackouts [02:51].
4. Shopping and Rewards
Dandy’s Shop: This shop appears in the elevator every other floor. You can spend your earned icore on things like:
- New tunes and skins [04:02]
UGC Shop: Located across from Dandy’s shop, you can buy UGC items to make your Roblox avatar look like a tune from the game [04:21].
Pro-Tips:
Team Up: Working with others is highly beneficial, as one person can distract the Twisted while others fill the machines [03:47].
Avoid Twisted Dandy: Be extremely careful around the character known as Twisted Dandy, as he can one-shot kill you [05:24].
