Introduction

Master gamer AAA, and his little sister Abigail, have been trapped inside the very games they love to play by evil Blumaroo, Roothless. Work your way through five levels styled after classic Neopets games and help the young gamers to escape!

Controls and Instructions

The first choice you have in the game is which character you want to play as - AAA or Abigail. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses, but generally Abigail is easier to play with. Your character will automatically move forward (unless they are hitting an obstacle that they can't walk over) and when they reach something they need to get over, use the spacebar to jump. You move onto the next level each time you get another 800 points (if you're playing as Abigail) or 1,000 points (if you're playing as AAA).

As you progress through the levels you will collect five items which help you as you contiue on - a shovel, a bubble, a spring, a helmet and a shield. They appear in your itembar as you collect them.

There are two ways of playing items as you need them - clicking their images in the item bar with your mouse, or using their corresponding keys on the keyboard. I strongly suggest you use the keyboard, as once you get to level three and beyond you will often need to use more than one item at once and it can get very difficult to move the mouse to the correct picture and still pay attention to what is coming up next! Here is a list of which keys correspond to which item:

The final aspect of the game is Scram, Roothless' bumble-brained servant. Transported into the game with AAA and Abigail, he will try to catch up with you and stop you from reaching the end! He moves at a fairly steady pace, and when you're just running (i.e. not using an item or jumping) you move faster than he does so you should be able to get a good head start on him in the first two levels. You can keep track of how far ahead you are on the map bar at the top of your game screen - you're the black character and Scram is the red one. Incidentally, you can also use the map bar to see how far you have to go in the game!

Tips and Strategies

But what do you use each item for? Here's a quick run-through of which items you will need, and what they are used for, in each level.

Level 1 - Snowmuncher

Level 2 - Turmac Roll

You may find that you can jump normally over the trees instead if you want to, but watch out - if you don't quite make it you will stall there and Scram might catch up with you!

Level 3 - Destruct-O-Match II

You can also use the shovel to dig through blocks - this is especially useful if you're playing and find the helmet appears after a place when you spring jump because if you do spring jump, you will miss the helmet! Digging through will allow you to collect the helmet. This happens most commonly when you're playing as AAA, but has been known to happen with Abigail as well.

Level 4 - Ice Cream Machine

Avoid the flying ice cream by using the shield for cones that will hit below your character's neck, and the helmet for ones that will hit you in the head.
You will also need the spring for jumping over higher columns of blocks.

Level 5 - Stowaway Sting

Pass the skeith pirates using the shield, the kougra pirates with the helmet.
Again, you'll need the spring for jumping over higher columns of crates.

User Tip

Konata says, "Dungeon Dash is one of the hardest games to beat in Neopia. I have played it countless times and have some great tips. First of all, when playing, hold down the right key and your character should go slightly faster. Another tip is to use the bubble as much as you can especially when using the spring. For example, when you use the spring to jump onto high areas like trees in the second stage or tall blocks or crates, immedieatly use the bubble to roll off that area to get a burst of speed because your character usually slows when they run up high. The game gets harder where you have to get past many enemies and hazards. A good strategy is to put up your helmet and shield over and over and only pause to use others. Plus, bubbles make you go even faster."

Conclusion

This game is hard - there's no other way to put it. Hopefully with a bit of practise, and the tips outlined in the guide, you will be able to reach the end and set AAA and Abigail free! If you're trying to get a trophy, make sure you play as AAA - even completing the game you won't get enough with Abigail.
