About the game
Run, leap and collect carved relics through an endless jungle temple. Fully offline, 11 languages, gamepad ready.
Relic Dash is an endless runner through a Maya ruin in the rainforest. Your explorer runs by herself along a raised limestone causeway; your job is the timing. Tap to leap, tap again in mid-air for a double jump, and thread a route over obsidian spikes and past snakes, beetles and bats while collecting carved relics of jade and gold.
The stone ledges are solid: jump into one from underneath and you bump your head and drop, so every climb is a question of when, not only whether. Charms change the run: Ward breaks the next thing that would have ended it, Lure pulls relics towards you, and Updraft grants a third jump. A thrown coconut clears a critter from the path and rolls on along the stones.
The trail never stops getting harder. The pace, the critters, the spike runs and the flyers keep building for as long as you last, and the charms grow rarer.
The built-in Trail Editor lets you author your own eight-column section — platforms, relics, spikes, critters and flyers — and then run it on a loop, so the game doubles as a small level-design toy.
Everything you see and hear is made by the game itself: the ruin, the forest and the cast are built in 3D from code as it loads, the sound effects are synthesised, and the music is an original loop. No accounts, no advertising and no in-app purchases.
How to play
- Your explorer runs by herself. Your job is the timing.
- Collect golden relics — they add to your score and mark the safe route.
- Stone spikes and jungle critters end the run on contact. One touch is all it takes.
- Grab ward, lure and updraft charms: shrug off one hit, pull relics in, gain a third jump.
- Press Throw to sling a coconut. It clears any critter in your path.
