Genre: Endless Runner / Adventure-Action Game Description: Backyard Dash is a fast-paced, chaotic endless runner that drops you into the heart of suburban mayhem. You’re an energetic boy dashing through never-ending American backyards, vaulting over trampolines, slipping through fences, and dodging clotheslines — all while snatching up realistic 3D cash that’s scattered everywhere. But watch out… Big Larry is on your tail, and he’s not happy. Riding an old, noisy lawn mower souped up with questionable modifications, Big Larry is relentless. He’s loud. He’s fast. And he really doesn’t like people running through his neighborhood. Core Gameplay: Endless Backyard Gauntlet: Run through procedurally generated backyards, each with unique layouts — pools, trampolines, swing sets, grills, fences to vault, and unclipped hedges. Cash Grab: Collect detailed 3D dollar bills, $100 bills, that increase your score and unlock new achievements. Can you become a millionaire? Big Larry Chase: Big Larry isn’t just a threat — he’s the game’s personality. His mower can cut through obstacles, and he’ll shout hilarious one-liners as he gets closer. If he catches you, it’s game over (with a ridiculous mowing-down cutscene). Visual Style: Bright, exaggerated suburban neighborhoods. Cartoonish yet detailed graphics with a splash of realism in the 3D money. Comedic animations and expressive characters. In-App Purchases: Leaf Blower Power-Up: Want a power-up in a game you keep forever? Our $1.99 leaf blower lets you suck cash in from every direction for 15 seconds with a 2-minute cool down time, but you keep it forever! Wallet: Each time Big Larry catches you, he will shake you down for half your cash. If you have your trusty wallet with you, you’ll keep all your earnings! Color Wheel: Don’t like Jack’s color coordination? No problem! With the purchase of the color wheel, you can change his appearance! Savings Account: Are you a big saver? With the purchase of a savings account, you’ll keep all your money from each run with no wallet needed. The twist? You’ll get 3% interest every 24 hours! Ad-Free: Don’t like ads after every game over? Or ads in general? Not a problem with the purchase of Ad-Free! Audio: Rock music upbeat soundtrack that puts you in that endless runner mood! Jack’s phrases will keep you engaged all throughout the game! He will encourage you to keep running with him to collect all the money you can and escape Big Larry! Why It’s Fun: Backyard Dash mixes frantic fun with over-the-top suburban chaos, giving players that classic endless runner adrenaline with a comedic twist. It’s a game of reflexes, laughter, and cold hard (virtual) cash — all while being hunted down by a man and his beloved mower. REMEBER COINS WERE COOL BUT CASH IS KING!
