Your body is the controller. BodyDash turns real movement into an endless railway run using a camera on your iPhone or iPad. Prop up your device, step into view, then jump and duck to dodge obstacles, collect coins, and chase your best score. NO WEARABLE OR CONTROLLER NEEDED On-device body-pose detection recognizes your movement from your selected camera. Just make enough room to move safely and start running. PLAY WIDE ON YOUR TV Connect before a run with AirPlay or a compatible cable. The TV shows the same run screens, adapted for 16:9: the setup camera and coaching, a camera picture in picture during play, recovery guidance, scores, and your completed highlight. Camera permission and controls stay on your iPhone or iPad. Live pixels stay on your local display route and are never synced or uploaded by this feature. A disconnect holds setup until you reconnect or resume on the device. Once the opening countdown or gameplay has begun, either resume path uses a seven-second countdown. MOVE THROUGH THE COURSE Jump over barriers, duck under signs, react to changing obstacle patterns, and survive with two lives. TRACK EVERY RUN See your score, jumps, ducks, dodges, estimated calories, streak, and personal best. CREATE A SHAREABLE HIGHLIGHT BodyDash reconstructs the game and, when sound is on, gameplay audio after your run, then combines them with your locally recorded camera video in a split-screen highlight. BodyDash never uploads recordings automatically. A video leaves the app only when you explicitly choose an available save, share, or submission action. PLAY YOUR WAY Run as Mochi on Sunset Railway, with 1D and three-lane course options. Sound can be adjusted at any time. For safe play, place your device on a stable surface, clear the area around you, and move within your own ability.
