Jump Dash Soar

Jump Dash Soar is a fast-paced, movement-based first-person shooter. You combine dashing, rocket jumping, strafe running, slope jumps and bounce pads to build speed, then direct it precisely to cross maps, solve timed puzzles and reach collectibles.

Movement and collectibles

Each level contains collectibles, some reached with a rocket jump and others placed in difficult-to-reach spots. Some are over 40 meters high, while others sit behind laser speed gates that require you to reach a minimum speed. Timed doors open when you shoot a button; you then have to reach them before the countdown ends, with the hardest allowing just one second.

Tutorials cover every movement technique. The HUD provides information for timing rocket jumps to the millisecond, angling rocket sprints to a tenth of a degree, reaching heights with a slope dash jump, and judging how effectively strafe running builds speed with a view rotation meter. A built-in Macro editor lets you bind advanced movement techniques to a key.

Speedruns

After learning how to collect everything, you can try to do so as quickly as possible in the built-in speedrun mode. Improve your times by finding new routes, pickup sequences and work-arounds. Each collectible has an intended solution, but any movement technique can be used to reach it.

The maps

The game includes three maps:

• The Sludge Factory: Learn dashing, rocket jumping and slope jumping in an expansive, intricate level with 48 collectibles. A speedrun challenge is to collect them all in under 8 minutes.
• The Sanctum of Sludge: Explore a large level that introduces advanced techniques, including rocket wall climbs, rocket dash jumps, strafe jumping, rocket wall runs and rocket dash sprints. You can follow the tutorial path or take on challenge rooms, and try to speedrun all 48 collectibles.
• Smooth Frog Classic: A throwback to classic deathmatch maps, where the Tutorial Guys become targets. Practice movement, cross the map and improve your shot accuracy.
