How to play

PIXEL DASH plays like a classic side-scroller, but the feel is tuned for the modern keyboard: coyote time when you step off a ledge, a jump buffer so early presses still fire, and a variable jump arc you control by how long you hold the button.

Run & sprint

Arrow keys or A/D to move. Hold Shift for a faster run — you need the speed to clear the long gaps in World 3.

Jump & head-butt

Space, W or ↑ to jump. Bounce a crate from below to pop a coin — and if you are powered up, bricks shatter.

Stomp the critters

Land on a Goomba's head to squash it and chain the score. Touch one from the side and you lose a life.

Grow up

Hit the marked crates for a mushroom. Big mode survives one hit and lets you pound through brick walls.

Grab the star

Rare star crates grant a few seconds of invincibility. Run straight through everything and rack up points.

Reach the flag

Touch the flagpole to clear the world. Leftover clock becomes bonus points, so hurry.

On a phone or tablet, on-screen controls appear automatically.
