Super Daryl Deluxe is a 2D action/comedy RPG with a focus on very customizable combat and absurdity. You play as Daryl Whitelaw, a new student at Water Falls High School, a school that has been secretly taken over by a devious self-help author that plans to use the school as a front for an evil brainwashing scheme that will annihilate proper society as we know it. Daryl will struggle to climb the social ladder, save a contraband textbook business, and tutor a princess locked deep in the heart of the school. His exploits will send him through time and worlds unknown where history and fiction mingle and come to life. Utilize dozens of skills to create hundreds of unique four-skill combinations and blast your way through hordes of enemies and bosses, leveling and transforming your combat system as you play. You’ll be the most popular kid in school in no time, and you might even save the world.
About the story
Super Daryl Deluxe follows an orange headband- and bellbottom- wearing adolescent who is forced to spend the height of his awkward teenage years in a new school that has, unfortunately, been taken over by evil self-help authors. His name is Daryl, and he just wants to make friends. What starts out as an innocent effort to help jump-start a young contraband textbook business turns into a dangerous quest through the underbelly of the school (and all of the classroom-based dimensions therein) in the hopes of stopping the Honors Students from brainwashing everyone and offering the world up to the evil authors behind it all.

By Heath Shusterman-ZimmermanSuper Daryl Deluxe offers up a humorous story backed by its great amount of customization and exploration. One of my favorite things about the game was that you never knew what twist or turn it was going to take.

By Jae LeeSuper Daryl Deluxe is difficult game to describe due to its strange narrative and mix-match of gameplay elements. It draws inspiration from many movies and games alike and while it certainly could have used a lot more polish, it's a worthy effort and a promising start to a brand new indie development team.

By Richard YorkRemember those weird and awkward days of trying to fit in in high school? Well, they're about to get weirder. And awkwarder. A retro style game about that crazy and scary period of time during high school, you can follow the poster child for weird and dorky, Daryl, as he tries to make sense of his teenage years. Also, dimensional rifts and brainwashing, strange creatures, and super powers.
