Wait for the right moment, then tap to dash. Direction Dash is a one tap dodge game. Your arrow spins in place, and when you tap, it dashes the way it is pointing. Time each dash to slip through the gaps in the barriers ahead. Hit a barrier and the run is over. HOW TO PLAY • Watch your arrow spin • Tap to dash in the direction it faces • Dodge through the gaps and past moving barriers • Leave one side of the screen to come back on the other HARDER AS YOU GO New barrier patterns join in the further you get: ladders, gauntlets, funnels, gates, sliders, spinners and more, 14 in all. Your arrow also spins faster the longer you last. HARD MODE In Hard Mode your arrow spins faster from the start and drifts faster between dashes, so every tap needs better timing. YOUR WAY • Reverse the spin direction in settings • Continue a run after a crash, or turn continues off COMPETE • Normal and Hard Mode leaderboards • 15 achievements to earn • Share your high score and challenge your friends to beat it PLAY OFFLINE No wifi needed. Direction Dash plays offline, so it's ready for flights, road trips and waiting rooms. Easy to learn, hard to master, and made for one finger. How far can you dash?
