Initializing, please wait a moment

Dash through vector-art stages with a single finger in One Tap Platformer - tap and hold to move across four stages of wave-based enemies, scored to procedural zzfx audio. Touch and mouse supported, no install.

Pixel Spike Run is the pick if you want an endless runner instead of a fixed set of stages.

Tutorial: a skippable walkthrough plays on first launch; replay it any time from the menu.

Controls: the same one-tap dash works from touch or mouse, so the page plays the same way on a phone and a desktop.

Under the hood: a Rollup-built single-file bundle of inlined HTML, about ~34 KB, with zero CDN calls and zero network activity once it has loaded.

Credits: rebranded from the open-source Stolen Sword js13k entry under the MIT license.
