How to play Canopy Dash
Canopy Dash is a jungle auto-runner with a real finish line. Your runner moves by itself, so all you do is time your moves across 30 stages that get faster and faster. Jump with up, W, space or a tap, press again in the air for a double jump, and hold down (or the left side of the screen) to roll under buzzing mosquitoes. Left and right move you around the screen.
You have one life: pits full of spikes, patrolling bugs and mice, snakes and bobbing mosquitoes all end the run on contact. Grab a shield to run through enemies, auto-aim to throw coconuts at them, a magnet to pull in bananas, a multiplier to double your points, or wings to climb over everything while you hold the jump. Jump pads launch you up to platform routes full of star trails.
Points come from distance, bananas, stars, power-ups and every enemy you take down. Pick Pip or Momo, learn the moves in a quick tutorial, and see how much of the course you can clear. Your best score is saved on your device.

FAQ
How many lives do I have?
One. Any touch of a bug, mouse, snake, mosquito or a spike pit ends the run. After a run you can watch an optional video to continue once.
How do I get past the flying mosquitoes?
Hold the down arrow (or the left side of the screen) to roll under them, or jump over them. Time it, because they bob up and down.
What do the power-ups do?
Magnet pulls pickups in, multiplier doubles points (and stacks), shield makes you invulnerable and faster, auto-aim throws coconuts at nearby enemies, and wings let you climb while you hold jump. Each lasts about ten seconds.
How long is a run?
The course has 30 stages and a finish flag, about eight minutes if you survive. The speed steps up several times along the way.
Is Canopy Dash free?
Yes. It is free to play in your browser, with no download and no account.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. It runs on phones, tablets and computers. Tap to jump (again in the air for a double jump; hold to climb when flying). Hold the left side of the screen to roll. Tilt the phone to move sideways.
