Dash and swing through a deadly jungle where the gravity can flip from one screen to the next.
Race across a side-scrolling jungle, leaping hazards and snatching treasure before time and obstacles catch you out.
Vine Dash harks back to Pitfall!, released by Activision in 1982 and written by David Crane for the Atari 2600 in a machine with 128 bytes of memory.
It holds 255 screens, which it does not store: the whole jungle is generated from a single number advanced by a repeatable formula, so the world is identical every time without being written down anywhere. You have twenty minutes to collect thirty-two treasures, and the map is genuinely larger than that allows, so route-finding — including the underground tunnels that skip several screens — is the real game.
Vine Dash is an original free browser take on the classic jungle swing-and-run platformer, adding flip-the-gravity screens to keep the route reading fresh. No download required.
