Peak Dash
A tight precision platformer: run, wall-jump and one mid-air dash your way up twelve peaks.
How to play Peak Dash
You are a nimble climber, and the whole game is about tight, responsive movement. Run with the arrow keys or A/D, and jump with ↑, W or Space. Hold the button for a higher hop and tap it for a small one. A little coyote time and jump buffering make edges and landings forgiving. Slide down walls and press jump while touching one to wall-jump off it, bouncing up chimneys; hold Z/K to grab and cling. Your signature move is a single mid-air dash (X, J or Shift) that fires in any of eight directions. Hold a direction to aim it. You only get one dash in the air, but it refills the instant you land, grab a wall, or grab a glowing dash crystal, so chaining dashes crystal to crystal is the key to the trickier rooms. Each of the twelve single-screen rooms introduces something new: spikes, springs, moving platforms and crumbling blocks that fall the moment you stand on them, and the mountain palette shifts as you climb. Touch a spike or fall and you respawn instantly at the room start; a death counter keeps score, but there is no game over. Your rank is the highest room you reach, so climb as far as you can.

Peak Dash: frequently asked questions
What are the controls in Peak Dash?
Move with the arrow keys or A/D, and jump with Up, W or Space. Hold jump for a higher leap. Dash with X, J or Shift, aiming it by holding a direction, and grab walls with Z or K. On a touch screen there are on-screen move, jump, dash and grab buttons.
How does the dash work and how do I get it back?
You have one air dash: a quick burst in any of eight directions that you aim by holding a movement direction. It recharges automatically the moment you land on ground, touch or grab a wall, or grab a floating dash crystal. That is why the harder rooms are built around dashing from one crystal to the next without touching down.
How do wall-jumps, springs and crumbling blocks work?
Press into a wall while airborne to slide down it, then press jump to wall-jump away and upward. Alternate between two walls to climb a chimney. Springs fling you high (hold a direction to steer as you rise) and also refill your dash. Crumbling blocks fall away a moment after you step on them, so keep moving across them and never stop.
