Tiny Hero: Dash & Run

A cute, fast platformer with tight movement, rotating bosses, and a built-in DEV Map Editor.

Tiny Hero: Dash & Run is a snappy, skill-driven platformer where every jump, dash, wall slide, and ladder climb matters. Clear stages, collect coins, and reach the goal—then step into boss battles that rotate by level, pushing your reaction and routing to the next level.

And when you’re ready to go beyond playing: build your own levels using the included DEV Map Editor.

Key Features

• Responsive platforming: jump + dash combos, wall slides, and precise aerial control.

• Ladders & vertical routing: climb to escape pressure, grab coins, and shape your route.

• Collectible-driven challenge: coins reward exploration and risk management.

• Rotating boss fights: bosses cycle by level, each with different timing and patterns.

• DEV Map Editor included: create, test, and save custom maps inside the game.

Boss Rotation (by Level)

Bosses follow a simple, easy-to-learn cycle:

• Level 1 → Whale

• Level 2 → Dragon

• Level 3 → Octopus (slow, steady movement with green droplet attacks)
  Then it repeats: 4 → Whale, 5 → Dragon, 6 → Octopus…

Each clear increases the intensity, encouraging pattern-reading and clean movement rather than luck.

DEV Map Editor (Built-In)

Want to design your own challenge? The game includes a DEV Map Editor that lets you create and test maps quickly.
