Dash & Leap: Endless Side-Scroller

Automatic Running, Manual Jumping

Dash & Leap is a 2D endless side-scroller built around a single action: jumping. Your character runs forward on its own, and you tap the screen or press a key to leap over obstacles. Because barriers appear in random positions, you cannot memorize a pattern. You react to what appears ahead. Each cleared obstacle adds to your score, and the running speed gradually increases, so later moments demand quicker timing. [IMG_1]

Bright Visuals and Clear Feedback

The game uses a bright, colorful 2D art style. Obstacles are visually distinct, and the background scrolls at a steady rate to reinforce forward motion. When you clear a barrier, the score updates immediately, giving you clear feedback that your timing worked. The character's movement is smooth, and the screen remains uncluttered so you can focus on what is coming next. [IMG_2]

Simple Controls for Any Device

On a computer, you press the spacebar or the up arrow key to jump. On a touchscreen, you tap anywhere. There are no additional buttons or complex inputs. This minimal control scheme means new players can start within seconds, and the responsive input translates directly into on-screen action without noticeable delay. [IMG_3]

Replayability Through Randomness

Obstacle placement changes every run, so no two attempts are identical. That randomness is the main reason to try again: you are chasing your own best score rather than learning a fixed sequence. The gradual speed increase means longer runs require sustained concentration. The game fits both short one-minute sessions and longer play periods.
