One button, two states: thrust or fall. That's all the control you get as a little pilot strapped to a jetpack, racing down a corridor that never ends. Learning to hover at the right height is the whole skill.
Jetdash unblocked is a Frank Force game from his open-source LittleJS Arcade. A run can be over in seconds or stretch for minutes, so it fits nicely between classes or meetings.
How to play Jetdash
Press PLAY and the pilot jogs along the floor. Hold the button to fire the jetpack and climb. Let go and gravity drags you down. The world scrolls at a steady pace while your distance in meters climbs in the corner.
Hazards come in three flavors. Zappers are glowing beams that hang from the ceiling or stick up from the floor. Missiles streak in from the right side toward the open gap, with a warning about a second ahead. Lasers are pinned to the floor or ceiling and slowly rotate, so the safe zone keeps moving.
Each section has one open gap, often marked by a line, arc or staircase of coins. Sometimes a shield bubble floats in the gap as well. Touch a hazard without a shield and the run ends, showing your distance and coins.

Tips
- Tap instead of holding. Short bursts let you hold one height, which is safer than big swoops.
- Follow the coins. They are placed in the safe gap, so they double as a guide.
- Move on the warning. Change height the moment the missile alert pops up, not when the missile shows.
- Pass a laser on its trailing side. Go around the side the beam is turning away from.
- Get clear after a shield pops. You only blink for a moment, so slide away from the hazard right away.
Jetdash questions
What are coins for?
They don't add to your distance score. Every coin goes into a lifetime total that is saved, and the end screen shows both the run's coins and that total.
Does it get harder as I go?
Yes. Missiles and turning lasers become more common the farther you fly, and plain zappers make up less of the mix.
Is my best run saved?
Yes. Your longest distance is stored in the browser and shown on the title screen.
