How to play Pixel Dash Duo
Pixel Dash Duo is a two-player side-scrolling platform race. Both heroes run the same stage at the same time, as ghosts that cannot bump each other, and the first to the goal flag wins.
Rules
Run, jump and stomp through the level. Hitting a ? block can release coins, a Power Seed that makes you grow, or a Power Ember that lets you throw sparks. Stomp Nibblers, and kick Roly shells into other enemies. Checkpoint beacons save your progress if you fall. The first player to touch the goal flag wins; in a photo finish, coins, stomps and remaining lives decide it. Choose Grassland, Underground or Sky Fortress.
Controls
Player 1: WASD to move, Space to jump, Shift to run, F to fire. Player 2 in Local vs: arrow keys, Enter to jump, Ctrl to run. On touch screens use the on-screen ◀ ▶, JUMP, RUN and FIRE buttons, ideally in landscape.
Tips
Hold run on straight sections, and jump at the very edge of a pit — a short grace window still lets you jump just after you leave a ledge. Turn a Roly into a shell and kick it through a group of enemies.
Pixel Dash Duo FAQ
Can the two players knock each other off?
No. Both run the stage as ghosts, so it is a pure race to the flag.
What happens if I fall in a pit?
You lose a life and restart from the last checkpoint beacon you touched.
Can I play with a friend on one computer?
Yes. Local vs gives each player their own keys on the same keyboard.
