Bo-Dash
A downloadable game for Windows
Bo-Dash is a fast-paced local 2-player party game set on a split conveyor belt arena. You and your opponent are literally tied together by a rope, which means every dash, dodge, and sabotage has consequences for both of you.
🎮 How to Play
Two players stand on opposing conveyor belts that push them toward the center divider. Collect floating ⭐ stars to earn points, avoid obstacles hurtling your way, and use powerful skills to sabotage your opponent.
The player with the most stars when time runs out wins. Fall off the belt and you lose a star, so don't get pushed around!
- Match duration: 3 minutes
- Tiebreaker: ⚡ Sudden Death (conveyor speeds up, stars spawn faster, one slip decides everything)
🧠 Skills & Power-ups
Grab glowing skill orbs to unleash one of 7 game-changing abilities:
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| 🛡️ Bubble Shield | Block the next hit (meteor, spike, curse) |
| ⚓ Iron Anchor | Resist the conveyor and stand your ground |
| 🎈 Balloon Curse | Amplify the conveyor push on your opponent |
| 🚀 Slingshot Rocket | Launch yourself forward at high speed |
| ☄️ Meteor Strike | Drop a meteor on your opponent's position |
| 💨 Speed Boost | Move faster for a few seconds |
| ⚡ Dash Recharge | Instantly reset your dash cooldown |
Skills are assigned randomly based on your position; the closer you are to the center danger zone, the more aggressive your skill becomes.
🚧 Obstacles
A variety of obstacles spawn from the edges and travel across the belt:
- Walls: Block your path
- Spikes: Knock you back hard
- Chalk Walls: Breakable with a well-timed dash
- Destructible Panels: Smash through them to create openings
Obstacles and conveyor speed gradually increase over the 3-minute match, so what starts as a manageable shuffle becomes pure chaos by the end.
