Stick Dash

Stick Dash is our take on the games you never meant to play for twenty minutes. A little stick figure runs on his own, the world keeps speeding up, and your only job is to jump at the right moment. That is the whole game - and that is exactly why it is so hard to put down. Every run is a fresh attempt to beat the number on the screen, and every game over is on you, never on luck.

Tap on your phone, click with a mouse, or press the space bar at your desk. Hold the jump a little longer and the stickman leaps higher; let go early and he cuts the jump short, so the height of every leap is in your hands. Spikes and blocks test your timing, and once you pass the 300 meter mark the birds show up to punish anyone who jumps without thinking. Your best distance is saved right in your browser, waiting for you to come back and beat it.

TAP or SPACE to jump - hold for a higher jump. Watch for birds: sometimes the best move is NOT to jump.

• One-button gameplay anyone can pick up in seconds: tap, click or press space to jump.
• Real control depth - hold for a higher leap, release early for a short hop.
• Spikes, blocks and low-flying birds mixed together, so no two stretches of track feel the same.
• Best distance is saved on your device automatically - your personal record is always one tap away.
• Runs full speed on phones, tablets and desktops, with a sound toggle and instant restarts.

1. Tap and let go quickly for small hops, and hold the button down for tall blocks - jump height is a decision, not luck.
2. When a bird glides in low, do nothing. The safest jump is often the one you never make.
3. Land first, then read the next obstacle. Planning a jump while still in the air is how runs end early.
4. Play the first 100 meters the same calm way every time - a repeatable start makes the fast parts easier to read.
5. Chasing a big number? Take a short break after every game over. Fresh eyes spot the spikes sooner than tired ones.

What is Stick Dash?Stick Dash is a free one-button endless runner made for PlayKrux. A stick figure runs on his own and you decide when to jump - survive as long as you can, and your distance in meters becomes your score.

Is Stick Dash really free? Do I need an account?Completely free - no download, no sign-up, no waiting. Open the page and play. The optional site account exists for rewards and the players list, but the game itself needs nothing from you.

How do I jump on a phone?Tap anywhere on the game screen. A quick tap makes a short hop, and holding your finger down makes a higher jump. On a computer, use the space bar or the up arrow key instead.

Why did my high score disappear?Your best distance is stored in your own browser, not on our servers. Clearing browsing data, using private or incognito mode, or switching devices will start a fresh record - that is the trade-off for playing with zero sign-up.

Can I jump over the birds?Yes, if you jump early at full height - but it is risky. Most of the time the smart move is to stay grounded and let the bird fly past, especially when one appears right after a tall block.
