Galapagos Dash

Run the island shore and collect every rare beetle. Run along a volcanic island shore with pixel Charles Darwin. Leap over giant tortoises, marine iguanas, cactus and lava rocks, duck under swooping seabirds and collect rare beetles in this free one-button runner game.

Twist: Pixel Darwin evolves as he collects: beetle 5 brings a double jump and beetle 12 adds a glide.

Parody. Charles Darwin has no involvement in making these games and does not endorse them. The character is an original pixel-art caricature.

How to play

Each run starts from scratch, and pixel Charles Darwin evolves with every rare beetle he collects; the counter at the top shows the progress.
After 5 beetles he can double jump: press again in mid-air. After 12 he can also glide: hold the button while falling.
Early on, play it safe and grab every beetle you can reach. Later, use the double jump and the glide to cross long rows of tortoises and lava rocks.
Beetles add 25 points each to your distance. Leap the tortoises, iguanas, cactus and lava rocks, and stay low under the seabirds.
Jump with a tap, a click, Space or Up. Press M to mute, P or Esc to pause, and share your score once the boat sails.

The story

The ship's bell has rung twice: the boat back to the ship leaves at sunset, with or without the naturalist. Pixel Charles Darwin still has half an island to explore and an empty collecting box, so he tucks his notebook into his coat and sets off along the shore at full speed. Let the Galapagos Dash begin.

The island is full of surprises. Giant tortoises plod across the path, marine iguanas sunbathe on the black rocks, prickly cactus grow everywhere and seabirds dive low over the waves. Rare beetles shine in the sand along the way, each one a new species for the collection. Grab as many as you can and reach the boat before it sails.
