Meet your new Dash Pals! Pick a fluffy bunny, a sparkly unicorn, a friendly gorilla, or hop behind the wheel of a rocket-fast car — then run, jump, and dash across colorful worlds collecting coins along the way. Dash Pals is a bright, simple, and endlessly fun runner anyone can pick up. Easy one-tap controls mean you jump right in, while more characters, colors, and levels keep the fun going. WHAT MAKES DASH PALS SPECIAL: CHOOSE YOUR PAL Play as a girl or boy character and pick from a growing cast of original characters — bunnies, kittens, unicorns, mermaids, fairies, princesses, gorillas, elephants and giraffes for the girls; cars, jets, rockets, trucks, bikes and helicopters for the boys. CUSTOMIZE YOUR STYLE Girls can mix and match hair colors and outfit colors to make their character truly their own. COLLECT COINS, UNLOCK MORE Every coin collected while running brings you closer to unlocking new characters and vehicles. Coins are always within easy reach — no frustrating precision jumps required. LEVEL UP AS YOU PLAY Backgrounds and scenery change as you level up, and the challenge grows gradually so the game stays fun without ever feeling unfair. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Dash Pals is available in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Hebrew, and Arabic. CHEERFUL SOUND Bright sound effects and a looping music-box style soundtrack — with separate mute switches for music and sound effects, so you're always in control. BUILT WITH FAMILIES IN MIND A parental gate protects every real-money purchase, so coin packs and premium characters can't be bought by accident. Download Dash Pals now and start your dash!
