About Cosmic Dash
Cosmic Dash is an endless runner set in space, with a track that carries your craft across the solar system against planetary backdrops. The aim is distance: get as far from the start as you can, dodging space junk, scooping up tokens and smashing asteroids. The longer a run lasts, the more challenging it becomes and the more it pays.
What sets it apart from a plain dodge-and-jump runner is a trio of moves on top of steering. Jumping clears obstacles, shrinking lets you squeeze through tight gaps and bits of debris, and a speed boost lets you destroy glowing asteroids head-on. Tokens add a scoring layer: small ones raise your score, while BIG TOKENS automatically pull in the smaller ones around them, so chaining them earns big rewards. Mission objectives give extra targets on top of distance. It plays on a keyboard with the arrows and Space, or on a phone with swipes and a tap.

How to play Cosmic Dash
Objective
Travel as far through space as possible, collecting tokens for score and using jump, shrink and boost to avoid or destroy whatever blocks the way.
Controls
Desktop
- Up arrow: jump
- Down arrow: shrink to squeeze through gaps and space junk
- Left/Right arrows: change position
- Space: boost to speed up and smash asteroids
Mobile
- Swipe up: jump
- Swipe down: shrink
- Swipe left or right: move
- Tap the screen: boost
Getting started
- Launch a run and get a feel for steering, using the left and right arrows or sideways swipes to change position.
- Jump over obstacles with the Up arrow or a swipe up as they appear on the track.
- When space junk or a narrow gap comes up, shrink with the Down arrow or a swipe down to slip through.
- Spot a glowing asteroid ahead and boost with Space or a tap on the screen to smash straight through it.
- Collect small tokens for score, and aim for BIG TOKENS, which pull nearby small ones in automatically.
Tips
- Grab a BIG TOKEN when several small tokens are scattered around it, since it draws them in automatically and one pickup collects the lot.
- Match the move to the hazard: shrink slips you past space junk, while only a boost destroys a glowing asteroid in your path.
- Runs grow harder but also more rewarding with distance, so protecting a long run is worth more than a risky detour for one token.
- Keep the mission objectives in mind during each run, since they add goals beyond pure distance and reward a different style of play.

Cosmic Dash FAQ
What are the controls in Cosmic Dash?
On a keyboard, the Up arrow jumps, the Down arrow shrinks, the Left and Right arrows move and Space boosts. On a phone, swipe up to jump, swipe down to shrink, swipe left or right to move and tap the screen to boost.
What do BIG TOKENS do?
A BIG TOKEN automatically pulls in the smaller tokens nearby, so grabbing one can collect a whole cluster at once. Small tokens raise your score, and chaining big ones is how the largest rewards are earned.
When should you shrink instead of boosting?
Shrink when the way ahead is a tight gap or a chunk of dangerous space junk. Boost when a glowing asteroid blocks the track, because the speed boost smashes through asteroids and clears the path for you.
