Devil Dash dives into a relentless platformer where danger strikes without warning. One wrong jump, and it’s back to the start. Can you survive?
You will control your character to move using the W, A, S, and D keys or the arrow keys, allowing you to move forward, backward, and jump up or down smoothly. In which the SPACE key plays an extremely important role. This is the button used to jump, a survival skill that helps you overcome deadly traps, deep holes, or obstacles moving at breakneck speed.
In Devil Dash, you will not be able to see obstacles in advance like when playing Noob in Geometry Dash or Geometry Vibes. Instead, everything comes unexpectedly, making you unable to breathe a sigh of relief for even a second. Every jump is a bet, deciding whether you survive or you have to start over. There are no warning signs, no instructions, just you and a series of traps cleverly designed to fool your reflexes.
Right from the first level, the game has fooled you with a seemingly straight, safe and easy path. There are no obstacles present on the screen, making you subjectively step forward. But the moment you start moving, the trap will suddenly activate, from the spikes popping up to the moving blocks chasing closely. You cannot predict, cannot stop. Just a slow beat, you will fall straight into the deep hole and have to start over.
If the first levels of Devil Dash are just a gentle warm-up, the deeper you play, the more the game reveals its true "devil" nature. Each level you face more unpredictable traps, faster pace and jumps that require near-absolute precision.
Not only stopping at fixed obstacles, the game begins to introduce dynamic traps, motion tracking traps, and even terrain that changes constantly over time. Sometimes you only have a few seconds to observe and act, otherwise everything will be swept away in the blink of an eye. Sometimes, gravity itself is reversed, forcing you to completely change the way you handle the situation.
