About Otter Dash
Otter Dash is an endless runner set on the open sea, in the spirit of the classic offline dinosaur game. Our otter swims forward on its own while rocks, barrels, low-flying gulls, jellyfish and leaping sharks come at it. Tap the upper screen to jump and hold for a higher jump; tap the lower screen or swipe down to dive.
Now and then a pelican flies low. Land on its back and it carries the otter for a stretch, with bonus points and a trail of shells. The sea gets faster the farther you swim and turns from day to sunset to night. Spend shells on goggles, a pirate hat and an astronaut helmet. It plays in any browser on phones, tablets and computers.
