About Volcano Dash

An auto-runner set inside an erupting volcano: you sprint to the right at ever-increasing speed across glowing terrain dotted with lava patches and rocks. Jump over a hazard, or slide under it - getting it wrong while not sliding is an instant burn. Blue heat-shield pickups are scattered along the route for +50 points each. Drive your score past 3,000 to ESCAPE the eruption.

How to Play Volcano Dash

Your runner sprints to the right automatically, ramping from speed 4 up to a cap of 10 as the run goes on (your score is the distance travelled). Press Space or Up to jump over lava patches, and hold Down to slide under rocks - whichever the hazard calls for. Touching a hazard while not sliding ends the run. Collect the 10 blue heat-shield pickups along the way for +50 points each, and keep running until your score clears 3,000.

Controls

Space or Up to jump (only while on the ground). Down to slide. On mobile, tap the top half to jump, hold the bottom of the screen to slide. P to pause.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a run?

It's one continuous run, not levels. Reaching a score above 3,000 triggers ESCAPED; touching a hazard while not sliding triggers BURNED.

Do heat shields protect me from lava?

No - the blue heat shields only add +50 points. They grant no immunity, so any unblocked contact with lava or rock still ends the run instantly.
