Clackdash

How to play

Every step on the giant keyboard adds to your speed. The path is split into zones, and each zone ends in a speed wall. Hit a wall with enough speed to smash it and earn trophies. If you are too slow, the wall shows the speed it needs. Reach the end of the keyboard to escape.

Treadmills at the start let you train without moving. Bigger ones open as you earn more trophies in total. Spend trophies in the Shop on Bigger Steps, trails and key sounds.

On a computer, hold W, the up arrow or the mouse to run, steer with A and D, the arrow keys or by dragging, and press Space to jump. H takes you back to the treadmills. On a phone, hold the screen to run, drag left or right to steer, and tap JUMP or tap with a second finger.

Tips and tricks

• When a wall stops you, press H, train past the speed it showed, then run back.
• Buy Bigger Steps early. Each level adds more speed to every step, and that also makes every treadmill faster.
• Holes send you back to your last wall or the start, so jump them. Chocolate blobs bump you back. Red keys pop up and down, so go around, wait, or jump on top.
• Spinning bars sweep across the path. Time your jump as the bar comes toward you.
• After each escape, you can Rebirth in the Shop. You keep trophies and upgrades, each step gives more speed forever, and walls give more trophies.
• Collect the daily gift each day. It grows with your streak, up to 7 days, and with how far you have smashed.

What makes it fun

Clackdash is about watching a number grow. You start slow, hit a wall, train, and come back much faster. Each zone needs far more speed than the last, so upgrades really matter. Five computer runners, Mochi, Nougat, Pip, Taffy and Bean, share the keyboard, and the RUNNERS board shows who is fastest.
