About Dash Heroes: Labyrinth
It is a 2D arcade game where every move is a dash, so you plan a route more than you steer.
Your hero dashes in a straight line until it hits something solid, and it can only go up, down, left or right. One hit from a trap kills the hero and you start over.

There are three modes. Classic has 45 levels to clear, Blitz also has you finishing levels, and Arcade is an endurance run where you see how far you get through the ruins.
Doors lead to other areas or to the next level. Coins are scattered all around, and they tend to line the paths that are safe to take.
Fixed spikes are only part of the danger. Some levels have rising water, and others have moving pieces you need to time your dashes around.
Before you play, you pick a hero. New heroes unlock when you meet goals like beating a certain number of levels or collecting enough coins. Every hero controls the same, so the choice only changes who you see dashing through the retro ruins.
Quick summary
- You pick a hero and choose Classic, Blitz or Arcade.
- In each level you dash through the ruins, collecting coins and dodging spikes, traps and rising water.
- Reaching a door takes you to another area or the next level.
- A single hit ends the attempt, and in Arcade the goal is to get as far as you can before that happens.

Tips & tricks
- Follow the coins, since they usually point along the safe route.
- Look at what sits at the end of a line before you dash, because you will not stop until you hit it.
- When a level has many moving pieces, wait in a corner and watch them before your next dash.
- When the water starts rising, plan your next couple of dashes instead of rushing into a trap.
- Grab coins even when you are not chasing a route, because coin totals help unlock new heroes.
