Toilet Dash Run

The pitch

Toilet Dash Run is a lighthearted path-drawing puzzle game. Guide each character to the matching restroom by drawing safe routes around fences, hazards, and moving enemies. Plan every line before the rush begins: once the routes are ready, everyone moves at the same time. Handcrafted levels, unlockable character looks, and quick mouse-or-touch play make every escape a fresh challenge.

Controls & how it runs

Objective: Get every character safely to the restroom with the matching symbol. Press or touch a character, then drag to draw a route to the correct door. Release on the destination and plan the remaining routes. Avoid walls, obstacles, enemies, and paths that would make the characters collide. You win when every character reaches the correct restroom safely. Controls: - Mouse: Hold the left mouse button and drag. - Touchscreen: Press and drag with one finger. - Restart: Select the circular-arrow button to redraw the level. - Hint or skip: Select the video button and complete the rewarded video when available.

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a flexible screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. It reshapes itself for tall and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all get the full picture. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

Pro tips for arcade cabinets

• Treat your first run as a scouting mission. Arcade cabinets hide their cruelty in the second minute, not the first — learn where the difficulty spikes before you start chasing numbers.
• Small scores compound. Grab the easy pickups on every pass instead of gambling the whole run on one heroic line; heroes respawn, banked points don't evaporate.
• Watch the edges of the screen. In classic arcade design the next problem almost always enters from somewhere you weren't looking — build the habit of scanning the borders.
