Rooftop Dash is an endless runner set on the rooftops of a sleeping city, free to play in your browser on Playdonya. The moon is up, windows light up and go dark in the buildings around you, and your runner sprints from roof to roof without stopping. You only have two moves, jump and slide, and the city keeps throwing new things at you.
Tap the screen or press Space to jump over the gaps between buildings and over chimneys, air-conditioning units and antennas. Hold the button for a higher, longer jump, and tap again in mid-air for a second jump when you misjudge a gap. Swipe down or press the Down arrow to slide under laundry lines, billboards and water tanks on stilts. Sliding in mid-air turns into a fast drop, which is handy when you need to land quickly.
The score grows with every meter you run, and coins add more on top. Collect coins without missing any and your multiplier climbs: every ten coins in a row adds one, up to four times. Three power-ups float above the roofs now and then. The umbrella lets you glide slowly over long gaps while you hold the jump button, the magnet pulls nearby coins to you, and the shield absorbs one crash with an obstacle.
The first stretch is calm, with wide roofs and small gaps. After that the run speeds up, gaps get wider, roofs change height and obstacles come closer together. Tips: watch the next roof's height before you jump, because jumping up to a higher building needs a full held jump. Keep your double jump for emergencies instead of using it out of habit. Follow the coin trails, because they often show a safe path over or under an obstacle. In the daily challenge everyone runs the same city, so every meter counts on the leaderboard.
