Dirt Dash — a free online arcade game on TotType
Dirt Dash is an arcade dirt-bike game where you ride across rolling hills and steep ramps. Use gas to build speed and launch off the kickers, lean in the air to line up clean landings, and grab power-ups like nitro boosts and shields along the way. A bad landing costs one of your three lives; your score is the distance you cover before the last one goes, and the terrain gets rougher and the ramps bigger as you climb through levels.

Tips & tricks
- Hold the gas button to accelerate but release to coast; timing your throttle helps you manage speed on steep uphill climbs and carry momentum into massive jumps.
- As you launch off a ramp, use the lean buttons to rotate your bike mid-air—land roughly wheels-down on the slope or you'll crash, so match your bike's angle to the terrain you're landing on.
- Nitro pickups give you a 2.5-second speed surge that lets you exceed the normal limit and tackle tougher ramps, while shield pickups protect you from one crash; both are crucial for pushing your distance further.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play Dirt Dash?
Use the arrow keys or WASD (or the on-screen buttons): press up/W to gas, down/S to brake, and left/right or A/D to lean. Carry speed over ramps to launch into the air, lean mid-flight to match the landing slope, and land wheels-down to stick the landing and keep your run alive.
How do you score in Dirt Dash?
Your score is the distance you ride. A bad landing costs one of your three lives and sets you back on your wheels where you fell; the run ends when all three are gone. Terrain gets rougher and ramps get bigger as you level up, so your best score improves as you learn to balance speed, jumps, and landings.

Yes! Dirt Dash runs free in any modern browser on phone, tablet, or desktop with no download or app install needed — anyone can try a demo run with no account, and a free parent account with a verified email unlocks unlimited play. You can play on-screen touch buttons or use your keyboard.
