About Dashmetry Solar Storm
Dashmetry Solar Storm is a community level on the Dashmetry browser platform themed around a coronal mass ejection — the explosive burst of solar plasma and magnetic field that erupts from the Sun's surface during periods of intense activity. The level uses this cosmic event as both a visual identity and a mechanical concept: speed portals throughout the run simulate the episodic bursts of a solar storm, creating a run that alternates between controlled navigation and sudden velocity spikes.
The color palette is built from deep oranges, solar yellows, and intense reds against a dark space background. Obstacle shapes reference the visual language of solar imagery: spike clusters arranged in radiating patterns, arcing platform formations that mimic solar filaments, and ship-form corridors outlined in plasma-glow effects. The background cycles through a simulated sun surface with visible convection cell textures, giving each section a sense of being physically close to a star.
Speed portals are the level's structural mechanic. Periodic velocity increases arrive with a flash of orange light — the solar storm 'burst' moment — and sustain for several obstacle sequences before returning to the standard speed. The tightest and most demanding obstacle arrangements are paired with the burst speed sections, requiring players to adapt their timing within a single beat of the velocity change rather than gradually.
Solar Storm's 4.2-star rating reflects a community view that the speed-burst structure is mechanically interesting but slightly inconsistent in how warning time is provided before each burst. Players who learn the burst timing through memorization find the level significantly more manageable than those who attempt pure real-time adaptation at the new velocity.
Key Features
- Speed-burst portal mechanic: periodic velocity spikes simulate solar storm 'ejection events,' with tight obstacles arriving during each burst
- Deep orange, solar yellow, and intense red space palette against a dark starfield — visual language of solar plasma and magnetism
- Spike clusters in radiating patterns and arcing platforms mimicking solar filaments
- Simulated sun surface with convection cell textures cycling through the background across level sections
- Ship form corridors with plasma-glow edge effects at the highest-speed sections
- Hosted at 1games.io as part of the Dashmetry community level library

How to Play
- 1Learn the standard-speed sections first. Solar Storm's normal-speed obstacle sequences are the lower difficulty floor — understand these before attempting full runs.
- 2Watch for the orange flash that precedes each speed burst. The flash gives approximately half a beat of warning — begin mentally switching to faster input mode as soon as the flash appears, not after the velocity changes.
- 3During speed-burst sections, your timing window for each obstacle compresses. Do not change how hard you tap — change how early you tap. The obstacle geometry is the same; only the time available to reach it changes.
- 4Return to standard tempo between bursts — the difficulty drops significantly back to normal speed. Use these recovery windows to breathe and reset your input rhythm before the next burst.
Tips & Tricks
- Count the number of speed portals in the level on your first few runs. Knowing exactly how many bursts occur and when they end lets you prepare for the return to standard tempo instead of being surprised by both transitions.
- During burst sections, look two obstacles ahead rather than one. The compressed timing means you need more advance notice of incoming geometry.
- The radiating spike clusters during burst sections look more dangerous than they are — the visual 'sun burst' aesthetic makes nearby gaps look narrower than their actual hitbox width. Trust your geometry reading over the visual impression.

FAQ
Solar Storm uses speed-burst portals throughout the run to simulate the episodic energy releases of a real solar storm. When the orange flash appears, velocity increases for several obstacle sequences before returning to standard speed. The hardest obstacles are paired with these burst sections.
The speed-burst mechanic creates large difficulty swings between standard-speed and burst sections. Players who have not memorized the burst timing locations experience sudden jumps in required reaction speed that feel uncontrolled.
Primarily cube and ship, with the ship form appearing in the plasma-glow corridor sections during burst speed. The ship form is most common at the highest-velocity moments.
Its 4.2-star rating places it in the middle range — harder than casual levels but not in the top-difficulty tier. The challenge is front-loaded into the burst sections; the standard-speed portions are relatively approachable.
