Subway Dash

Subway Dash takes the classic endless-runner">endless runner formula onto subway tracks. Your character runs by itself, so your job is picking a lane and clearing the trains at the right moment. It runs safely in your browser with nothing to install.

How is Subway Dash played?

There are three lanes and you move between them freely. You jump the raised obstacles and slide under the low barriers. Coins and power-ups gathered along the way keep your run going.

The further you travel, the faster the game gets. The pace you started at leaves far less reaction time a minute in, which makes reading the track ahead essential.

What do the power-ups do?

Items appearing on the route hand out short-lived advantages. Some pull coins toward you like a magnet, others lift you into the air and skip a whole section. Using them at the right moment raises your record considerably.

Why kids like it

Controls come down to four directions, so the first run is enough to understand it. Colourful city backdrops and short attempts mean a few tries fit inside a break.

Is it safe?

A cheerful and colourful runner. There is no violence or frightening scene, and a collision simply restarts the character. Suitable for ages 6 and up.
