## What is Chewie Bone Dasher?

Chewie Bone Dasher

Help Chewie the dog dash, flap, and bone-collect his way through an endless obstacle course — and try not to get squished, zapped, or chased by a very grumpy cat.

TAP TO FLAP. DOUBLE-TAP TO BOOST.
Tap anywhere to lift Chewie upward through the gap between pipes. Master the double-tap for an extra burst of lift — perfect for threading a tight passage at the last second.

COLLECT BONES. BUILD YOUR COMBO.
Grab bones to stack a combo multiplier and rack up massive points. Watch out for fake treats — grabbing one costs you points and kills your streak.

7 POWER-UPS
Shield, Magnet, 2x Bones, Slow-motion, Rocket, Tiny mode, and Reverse gravity. Each one changes how you play a run.

RUN MODIFIERS
Take on a challenge before each run for a score multiplier — tiny mode all run for 2x, pipe speed cranked for 3x, gravity flipped all run for 2.5x, or shields disabled for 2x. High risk, high reward.

BOSSES, BOSS RUSH, AND BONUS ROUNDS
Survive long enough and a boss appears — a robo-vacuum, a menacing cat, or a very large dog. At high scores, three dogs charge at once in a Mini Boss Rush formation. Every 50 points, a Bonus Round floods the screen with free bones for 9 seconds.

A WORLD THAT FIGHTS BACK
Tornadoes, tennis balls, wind gusts, and vacuum spirals. Moving pipes that bob as you fly. Portal wormholes that teleport Chewie mid-run. Coin pipes that shower bones when passed closely. Bone magnet rings that reward a perfect center pass.

FIVE BACKGROUND THEMES
Natural, Space, Underwater, Jungle, or City — each one reskins the background and pipe style for a completely different look.

UNLOCK SKINS AND UPGRADE YOUR RUN
Bones collected across all runs unlock six Chewie skins including Golden Paws, Pirate, Space Dog, Ghost Dog, and Rainbow. Spend bones on permanent upgrades — wider gaps, lighter gravity, longer shields, extended magnet range, or an extra life.
