About the Game

Do you like to go fast? Like, really fast?



Spring Dash is a nature-themed first-person platformer. Use unique plant-based movement abilities to leap over massive gaps, dodge enemy attacks, grapple between floating rocks and build up to a ridiculous speed.

Features

  • Fluid Movement Mechanics
    Wallrun. Grapple. Dash. Bounce. Slide. Practice the most efficient ways to combine movement mechanics to achieve faster times.
  • Multiple Routes
    Every level can be completed in multiple ways - Experiment to find the best routes, shaving time off your best run on each attempt.
  • Enemies
    Progress through the game to encounter multiple enemy types. Silkworms will slow you down. Grasshoppers will slam you.
    The bugs will try to stop you. Don't let them.
  • Break The Game
    Find every exploit you can - it's encouraged. Take advantage of the mechanics at your disposal to find shortcuts and unintended routes.
  • Endless Mode
    A procedurally-generated endless mode so you can soar through the sky for as long as you'd like.
  • Leaderboards & Medals
    Compete with your friends to achieve the best times, and prove your skills by earning Gold in every level.

Is this game for me?

Spring Dash is a relatively small game with lots of replayability. It was made by a single developer, with a talented composer and a few friends helping out along the way. I really want you to enjoy your time with Spring Dash, so here's a quick list to help you determine whether buying this game is worth it for you.

YES
  • Buttery-smooth movement mechanics & satisfying parkour
  • Lightning-fast gameplay
  • Leaderboards & medals to achieve for each level
  • Endless mode to get you in that "flow" state
But...
  • No multiplayer
  • No deep lore or story
  • No level editor
  • Only one weapon - it's all about the movement!
