The iOS game Dashy Crashy, which we recently reviewed, is an utterly devilish mix: addictive and difficult. At times, you may be wondering what you’re supposed to do to attain the higher scores; well, here are some strategies that have helped us to get a little further.
Slow and steady wins the race
Though swiping up on the screen will give you an intense speed boost, you shouldn’t be fooled by the game’s name; staying at the standard pace, rather than constant dashing, can get you much further in Dashy Crashy. Avoiding the huge succession of obstacles is harder at high speed.
What vehicle should you choose?
Whereas the smaller vehicles you can use are good for speed, the larger vehicles can take more crashes before the game is over. As we’ve advocated the “slow and steady” approach here, we reckon you might as well stick to the largest vehicle possible, and give yourself room for occasional slip-ups on the road.
The power of patience
Frankly, even with these tips at hand, reaching the higher end of the grading system in Dashy Crashy can require massive patience. Still, approach the free-to-download Dashy Crashy less as a racing game and more as a strategy game, and you are likely to find yourself getting further.
