About Jump Dash Soar
Jump Dash Soar
...is a frenetic, fast, and fun movement-based FPS. Build incredible speed with a powerful dash mechanic combined with rocket jumping, strafe running, slope jumps, and bounce pads! But Jump Dash Soar isn't just about going fast. It's about quickly, but smoothly and precisely, directing that speed to traverse maps, solve timed puzzles, and find hard-to-reach collectibles.
Ready to test your FPS skills with some throw-back Boomer Shooter movement?
Collectibles
Each level is packed with collectibles. Some are a mere rocket jump away, but others are much trickier, and many might seem downright impossible to reach! Some are over 40 meters high. Some are stashed behind laser speed gates, the kind that'll give you a nasty singe if you don't meet the minimum speed. But the most challenging are locked away behind timed doors: activate the door by shooting a button, watch the countdown start, and go fast! The hardest will only give you a single second to make it through!
Are you up for the challenge?
Tutorials
If you're not a seasoned FPS pro, don't worry, Jump Dash Soar has comprehensive tutorials that cover every movement technique available. You can time your rocket jumps down to the millisecond, angle your rocket sprints to a tenth of a degree, and reach ridiculous heights with a slope dash jump all by using information presented clearly on the HUD. You can even check out the view rotation meter to see a real-time readout of how effective your strafe running is at building speed.
Even better, Jump Dash Soar has a built-in Macro editor that makes these advanced movement techniques only a key-bind away!
Speedruns
Once you've first figured out how to get all the collectibles, why not try to get them all... but really fast? Jump Dash Soar has a built-in speedrun mode! Continually improve your time by finding new routes, pickup sequences, and work-arounds. Each collectible has an "intended" solution, but any movement technique you can use to reach it is fair game!
Maps
Jump Dash Soar is the work of a single developer, and includes three maps:
The Sludge Factory
Start your Jump Dash Soar journey in the expansive and intricate Sludge Factory. Learn the basics of dashing, rocket jumping, and slope jumping, and use those skills to reach 48 total collectibles! Some are relatively easy to reach, but others will test all the skills you've learned.
Can you speedrun them all in under 8 minutes?
The Sanctum of Sludge
Ready to go faster, further, and higher? The Sanctum of Sludge is a massive level that'll introduce you to Jump Dash Soar's advanced movement techniques: rocket wall climbs, the incredibly powerful rocket dash jump, strafe jumping, rocket wall runs, and the rocket dash sprint!
You could stay on the tutorial path, but why not take on some of the challenge rooms? You'll need everything you've learned to tackle some of these! Try a speedrun to see just how fast you can find all 48 collectibles!
Smooth Frog Classic
SFC is a throwback level to the old classic deathmatch maps. The Tutorial Guys are now targets! Practice your movement, traverse the map, and improve your shot accuracy!
What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Are you an experienced veteran of old-school first-person shooters like Quake? Do you like exploiting the heck out of wonky momentum-based movement systems, running and bouncing and rocket-jumping across a map with little regard for your safety or the laws of physics? Did you ever think to yourself, "shooting people is fun and all, but it would be even more fun if this whole game was about the parkour"? Well, in my case the answer to all of those questions is "no". But if they were "yes", then I might get some fun out of Jump Dash Soar. Jump Dash Soar is basically a playground and an obstacle course built around exploiting the quirks of FPS physics. You've got a rocket launcher, but there are no enemies to shoot, just ramps, switches, spring-pads and geometry to fling yourself into and off of. Be warned, the game expects you to already be an expert at this kind of movement from the get-go. Expect to dash into a slight incline while shooting a rocket at your own feet and sending yourself flying into the stratosphere, and expect to NEED to do that to clear an obstacle. The bugs aren't just a feature here, they're the core of the gameplay! As a person with little to no experience w…2 found this helpful
Good luck. Large blocks of text are your only tutorialization. Bring knowledge from other games.1 found this helpful

Fun game, but a bit too hard for me. It is satisfying when you manage to pull off the jumps though.
