About Electron Dash

Electron Dash is a science-themed GD-style rhythm runner hosted on GitHub Pages that casts the player as an electron particle racing through circuit board pathways. The game draws on electronics and physics imagery: the obstacle course is a stylized circuit board with component silhouettes (resistors, capacitors, logic gates) framing the platform edges, and the player's trail is a glowing blue particle stream that leaves a brief afterglow on the circuit pathways after passing.

The circuit board aesthetic provides a high-contrast visual environment: bright circuit traces in cyan and white run against a dark PCB-green or black background, and all obstacle shapes are defined by the angular geometry of electronic components rather than natural or architectural forms. Spike equivalents are represented as solder-point clusters; platforms are IC chip surfaces; and the background layers display animated voltage wave patterns that scroll at different speeds to create a depth illusion.

Voltage-surge speed boosts are the level's primary mechanical modifier. When the player passes through a voltage portal (represented as a capacitor discharge graphic), the run speed increases significantly for a defined number of obstacles before returning to standard pace. These surge windows require faster reaction timing and tighter input precision — the obstacle sequences during surges are designed to be challenging at surge speed while still clearable with correct inputs at the standard speed.

The game uses cube and wave forms primarily. The wave form during voltage-surge sections is the most mechanically demanding segment: navigating a diagonal wave through circuit-trace corridor walls at surge speed requires precise hold-duration calibration that differs from the standard-speed wave. Players who use standard-speed hold timing during surges consistently clip the corridor walls.

Key Features

  • Circuit board visual aesthetic: PCB-green or black background, cyan/white circuit traces, component silhouettes (resistors, capacitors, logic gates) as obstacle framing
  • Electron particle trail with afterglow effect on circuit pathway surfaces
  • Voltage-surge speed boost portals: increased speed for a defined obstacle window — harder segments designed for surge-speed play
  • Animated background voltage wave patterns at multiple scroll speeds creating parallax depth
  • Cube and wave forms with wave during surge as the most demanding mechanical segment
  • Hosted on GitHub Pages via onegamez.github.io

Controls

Space / Left Click — jump (cube), oscillate up (wave)
Hold — ride wave upward; release to descend — calibrate hold duration separately for surge and non-surge speed
MobileTap to jump or oscillate; hold for wave form; surge-speed requires shorter hold durations

How to Play

  1. 1The circuit board environment reads clearly at standard speed — use your first few runs to identify which component shapes (resistors, capacitors) correspond to which obstacle types (platforms, spikes).
  2. 2When a voltage portal appears (capacitor discharge graphic), immediately prepare for surge speed. Count the obstacles ahead from your current position — the surge typically lasts 5–8 obstacles.
  3. 3During surge, reduce your wave hold duration by approximately 30% from your standard-speed calibration. The same absolute hold duration that kept you centered at standard speed will send you into the ceiling at surge speed.
  4. 4After surge ends, recalibrate back to standard duration — players who continue using shortened surge-duration inputs after the surge ends systematically undershoot and clip the floor in post-surge sections.

Tips & Tricks

  • The voltage wave background scrolls at a speed slightly slower than the surge speed. During surge sections, the background appears almost stationary while the circuit foreground rushes past — do not use the background scroll speed as a pace reference during surges.
  • Component silhouette obstacles in Electron Dash have hitboxes that match the darkest part of each component shape. The glow effect around components is visual decoration — the hitbox does not extend to the outer edge of the glow radius.
  • Track how many voltage portals exist in the level on your first two runs. Knowing the total portal count and their relative positions helps you time mental preparation for each surge transition rather than being caught off-guard.

FAQ

Voltage-surge portals temporarily increase the run speed for a defined sequence of obstacles. The surge is triggered when the electron passes through a capacitor-discharge-style graphic in the level. Surge-speed sequences are designed to be the hardest obstacle clusters in the level.

Yes — component silhouettes (resistors, capacitors, logic gates) used as platform and spike framing have hitboxes that match the dark central part of each shape. The glow effect around components is purely visual and does not extend the hitbox.

Surge speed compresses the time available for each wave oscillation adjustment. A hold duration calibrated for standard speed will carry the wave too far in either direction at surge speed, clipping walls. Players must recalibrate their hold timing specifically for surge-speed wave navigation.
