Polar Dash by Cheesefork
Space. Two planets. Only the blue one to have a warden.
The lonely king sits behind his lonely table.
With only a big red button to accompany him, the lonely king in all his sleepiness lays his forehead right on top of it.
Unfortunately, this causes the two planets to get dangerously close.
Alarmed king jumps on his feet and runs towards the rescue.
Your role is to set things right on two worlds, where things went horribly wrong.
Collect points to score.
- Progressively generated terrain.
- Game speed and difficulty increases over time.
- Controls:
Click/tap anywhere to switch the polarity.
- This game needs at least Flash Player 11.8 to run.

graphics. It could definitely benefit from some
background music and some way of tracking how
far you have managed to run.
Can't go wrong with orange and blue :)
Ran very slowly in firefox, but was mostly ok in chrome.
Would like some score for my efforts ;)
It would be great to see a score/runned distance feature !
Background music and a distance counter / record could help to motivate for a longer time.
But it's a little bit slow on my computer (don't know why ?), else.. well done !
Good job!
Graphics are great, too bad there is not a good piece of music to complete the mood

This type of game need score (and high score) to be more addictive and fun!
And thanks to all of you for positive feedback, especially from me, the graphics/animations guy. We're aware of shortcomings and will certainly work on this game some more.
by popular demand we have worked on some additions to the game.
New interface buttons - now you can pause the game, mute sound, change graphics quality and go to fullscreen.
New custom made background music that matches the pace.
And the biggest improvement: the score system. By keeping track of your current and highest achieved score, we added the much needed element of motivation.
You score by collecting points, not just running the farthest you can get, making you switch poles in places you previously wouldn’t.
Can you beat our best score of 400? :)
