The wall is coming. Fill the gaps. Smash through. Shatter Dash is a block puzzle with a runner's heartbeat. Your runner sprints toward a brick wall, and you have only seconds to drop blocks into its gaps. Complete a row or a column to crack the wall. Crack it enough times and your runner bursts through in a shower of bricks. Run out of time and... BONK. HOW IT PLAYS • Drag a piece from your tray of three onto the wall, where it snaps to the grid • Every completed row or column blasts away and adds a crack • Clear several lines with one piece for big combo points • Smash the wall early for a bigger time bonus • Between walls, swipe left and right to grab coins on the dash FAIR BY DESIGN • Every tray has at least one piece that fits. If nothing fits, you get a free reshuffle • Every stage plays the same way every time, so practice pays off • Out of time? Revive with an optional video or with gems and get 8 more seconds on the same wall 60 STAGES IN 5 WORLDS Every world brings a new kind of brick: • Neon Alley: learn to crack, combo and smash • Canyon Rush: gem bricks pay 3 gems when their line clears • Frostbite Peaks: ice bricks survive their first clear • Magma Forge: bomb bricks blast their neighbours for an extra crack • Starfall Station: void holes can never be filled, so plan around them Earn up to three stars on every stage and break through the tougher boss walls. INFINITE DASH The walls never stop. The grid grows and the clock gets tighter every 5 walls. How far can you run? DAILY DASH A new 10-wall run every day, the same for every player in the world. Play it as often as you like; your best score goes on today's leaderboard. 8 RUNNERS TO UNLOCK • Pip, the city courier who never stops • Nova, the space cadet: +1 second on every wall • Kiko, a ninja fox with a soft spot for shiny coins • Bolt, the friendly robot: revives itself once per stage • Mira, the skater: a free Shuffle every stage • Rex, the tiny dino: +10% score • Brickle, a golem made of bricks: starts every stage with a Hammer • Glitch, a neon arcade ghost: +2 seconds per wall and +10% coins Unlock runners with the coins and gems you earn by playing. FOUR BOOSTERS • Hammer smashes a single brick • Blast clears a 3×3 area • Slow-Mo adds 5 seconds • Shuffle deals a brand-new tray SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY • A 7-day login ladder of coins, boosters and gems • 3 fresh daily quests • 20 achievements to unlock GAME CENTER Climb four leaderboards: Infinite Dash, Most Walls in a Run, Daily Dash and Total Stars.
