Square Dash Up - Reinvents the Dash Formula Vertically
Square Dash Up takes the familiar dash-style platforming concept and flips it upward. Instead of moving forward through horizontal levels, the entire challenge revolves around climbing vertical corridors packed with hazards. The game demands sharp timing, fast reactions, and constant rhythm awareness. Every mistake sends you back down, turning each run into a tense ascent.
Vertical Gameplay Built on Precision
The core idea is simple but demanding. You guide a square character upward through narrow vertical spaces by switching between the left and right walls. Obstacles appear in tight patterns, forcing quick decisions and clean execution. Progress depends on rhythm and positioning rather than memorizing long sequences.
Movement Actions:
Jump (Key A or Left Button): A short horizontal arc used for repositioning or clearing minor obstacles
Dash Up (Key S or Right Button): A powerful vertical launch that drives all upward progress
Star Collection and Scoring System
Stars are scattered throughout the vertical layout and serve as the main scoring element. Collecting stars often requires taking extra risks, such as dashing through tighter spaces or delaying safe climbs. Scoring Rules:
Stars collected in a run determine your current score
Best score tracks your highest star count across all runs
Falling or dying resets the run but preserves your record
