About Dacholer

Kicking a turtle shell shaped like a soccer ball allows the ostrich player to destroy opponents while traversing maze corridors. Clearing these enemies triggers bonus stages or advances the player to the next level. This shooter-style maze game requires precise movement to avoid enemy contact while utilizing the shell as the primary offensive tool.

If you are exploring by feel rather than by title, jump from the tags above into the matching genre rooms, or return to the Arcade hall for the full wall.

Open Play on this page to start Dacholer. Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
