About the game

Slide the tiles of a shuffled picture back into place before the timer runs out, over eight levels of growing grids.

Canvas Dash is a sliding-tile picture puzzle. Each level cuts a painted scene into a grid of tiles with one empty space and shuffles them; tap a tile next to the gap to slide it in, and put the picture back together before the time runs out. The eight levels grow from 3×3 to 4×4 and 5×5 grids, and finishing one unlocks the next. Fewer moves and more time left mean a bigger score.

Every picture you complete is added to the Gallery, and High Scores keeps your top runs. Puzzle Lab is for untimed practice: pick a 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5 grid and any of the eight scenes, then play that layout. Play a Friend opens a game over the net with a six-digit room code; you both start from the same shuffle, and the higher score wins. On a controller, the D-pad slides tiles and RT flashes a tile that is out of place.

How to play

  1. Sort out the picture by moving tiles!
  2. Finish the picture before time runs out. Fewer moves and more time left mean a bigger score.
