Cavalcadence plays Cadence 5: 06-Nov-2014 (Daily Challenge)
For anybody who's interested in custom Cadences (or other characters), the official NecroDancer FAQ has some info about creating custom characters, and even has a link to the pinned thread on the official forums, where people have posted some of their custom creations:

So... the Daily Challenge. The Daily Challenge is basically a seeded Hardcore mode game (that's different each day) that you can only play once per day: so, everyone gets the same dungeon, no Lobby upgrades are applied, you start on Zone 1, and you play through all 3 Zones (or as far as you can get through them). And score is determined by how many Coins you have at the end of your run.
This is my very first Daily Challenge win! =) I wasn't recording it at the time (I hadn't been having much luck with the Daily Challenges, so I honestly wasn't expecting to finish!)... but I did go back later and record the Replay. =)
Since I'd never won a Daily Challenge before (I'd beaten Hardcore mode before, but not the Daily Challenge), I was mainly just trying to get as far as I could, rather than playing for score. In fact, I didn't notice until later, but I actually ended up with 13 bombs by the end of the run... which could've gotten me a good number of coins (from the shop walls), if I'd been playing for score! =)
The Zone 1 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Direbat, Red Dragon, Gray Minotaur, and King Conga 1.
The Zone 2 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Banshee, Gray Minotaur, Green Banshee, and Death Metal 2.
The Zone 3 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Blue Dragon, Green Banshee, Blue Dragon, and Deep Blues 3.
