Tips for a better score

  • Hold the jump to fly higher: a quick tap only just clears the tallest thorn bushes, while a held jump carries you through a whole arc of gems.
  • Birds come at two heights. Duck under the low ones, but stay on the ground for the high ones, since a jump carries you straight into them.
  • Press down in mid-air to drop fast. It shortens a jump you started too early and gets you back on the sand for the next hazard.
  • Passing a hazard with almost no room to spare scores 25, and chaining close calls within a couple of seconds doubles, triples, then quadruples it.

About Dune Dash

Dune Dash is a one-button endless runner across a desert that slides from afternoon through golden hour and dusk into a starry night. Your little rover jumps rocks, thorn bushes and bouncing tumbleweeds, and ducks under low-flying birds. Hold the jump for extra height, collect gems for bonus points, and skim past hazards for near-miss bonuses. The pace keeps climbing the further you roll, and one hit ends the run.
