Free, no sign-up. Keyboard, touch or gamepad.

How to play

  • Arrows or WASD to move.
  • Hold Space (or X) to charge a dash, let go to shove.
  • P pauses.

On touch

  • Drag anywhere to steer.
  • Hold the DASH button to charge, let go to shove.

Every run starts on the title screen. Pause any time with P or the pause button; calm mode removes flashes and screen shake.

Maker’s note

Nobody gets hurt: they just splash. The nine rivals are scripted from the run's seed, so a daily is the same crowd for everyone. Pick-ups make you BIG, HEAVY or BOUNCY for ten seconds. Score is your placement, plus bumps (a dash that lands) and knock-outs.
