DASHBOX

WELCOME TO DASHBOX

DASHBOX is a frenetic arcade score chase game where you DASH inside a BOX.

Get to the SAFE WALL before the timer runs out.

Collect the ORBS to increase your score.

Avoid crashing into the GATES!

HOW TO PLAY

In DASHBOX you control the ball that sits on the interior edge of the wall.

Use left, right, up, and down to move your ball along the wall.

To DASH, hit the Z key (or circle button)

If your path passes through a GATE, your trajectory will be changed!

The WHITE WALL is the SAFE WALL

You want to make sure you're on the safe wall when the timer at the bottom of the screen runs out

To increase your score, collect the vibrating ORB*. (*okay, it's square, but still)

The point value of an orb increases by 1 for every orb collected while the timer is active, so move fast to get quick points!

IF YOU DASH TOO MANY TIMES WITHOUT COLLECTING THE ORB, YOU WILL PERISH.

WAYS TO DIE (AKA THINGS TO AVOID)

- Being on a non-safe wall when the timer expires

- Colliding with a gate in a way that does not redirect your trajectory

- Dashing too many times without collecting an orb

Have fun, and chase the highest score!
