A retro side-scrolling brawler with hand-to-hand combat, weapon pickups, and a story mode full of bosses. This modded build runs with unlimited money so every character, weapon, and upgrade is yours from the start.
What is Dan the Man
Dan the Man is a pixel-art action platformer from Halfbrick Studios, the studio behind Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride. It started life as a web cartoon series and grew into a full mobile brawler, where you punch, kick, and shoot your way through waves of enemies across a story-driven campaign. The combat is the draw: tight combo chains, aerial juggles, and pickups that range from baseball bats to machine guns.
The game splits into a few modes. Story mode runs you through hand-crafted stages with mini-bosses and end-of-level showdowns. Survival mode throws endless enemy waves at you for high-score chasing. There is also a stage editor and a co-op option, so two players can clear a level together on the same device. Underneath it all sits a light progression system where coins buy new characters, costumes, and weapon upgrades.
The base game is free, with coins earned through play or bought with real money to speed up unlocks. That coin economy is exactly what the modded build on this page changes, removing the grind so you can experiment with every character and loadout right away.
