Ales Dash

Ales Dash is a side-scrolling 3D action game in which you guide Ales as he runs forward, avoids obstacles and clears levels.

Game modes

Endless challenges you to travel as far as possible through randomly generated levels. Each miss reduces Ales' credits by 1; the game ends when they reach 0. The music and colors change every 3 levels, and Ales, enemies, traps and obstacles get faster every 9 levels. New traps and obstacles are added after levels 10, 28 and 46. You can register an online score to compete in the global rankings.

Challenge mode has more than 18 levels prepared in advance. Each level contains three medals; collecting the medals from every level unlocks a special level.

Items and enemies

In Endless, collecting 100 crystals adds 1 credit. Medals are worth 30 crystals. A Gold Bean appears in Endless; collecting one temporarily increases Ales' speed and makes him invincible. While invincible, he cannot miss by touching an enemy or trap or falling into a hole.

Drop is a green enemy found in the dungeon. You can defeat it by jumping on it, but touching it from the side causes a miss. Poison Drop is a purple enemy that appears in the second half of Endless levels and moves while leaving venom. You cannot defeat it by jumping on it; touching its venom causes a miss, and it can only be defeated while Ales is invincible.

Traps and obstacles

Ales misses if he falls into a gap or hits an obstacle. You can avoid these hazards by jumping and moving horizontally. Six types of traps and obstacles appear in levels; as difficulty rises, their speed increases and more types are introduced:

• Lift: moves horizontally and vertically.
• Thorn: rises and falls at fixed intervals.
• Cube: rotates in one direction. Staying on it too long makes Ales fall.
• Magic Circle: produces a Magic Ball at fixed intervals; touching the ball causes a miss.
• Wind Circle: creates a tailwind that speeds Ales up while he is in it.
• Spike Ball: travels along a rail; touching it causes a miss.
