Survival Arena

Play Survival Arena free online. No weapons, just a dash: zip through enemies to defeat them and survive the arena.

An arena survival game built around one move: the dash. Dashing makes you briefly untouchable and defeats every enemy you pass through, but it needs a moment to recharge — and between dashes you are vulnerable. Slimes split into two when hit, bats flutter around you and archers fire from a distance. Chain several enemies into one dash for a combo.

How to play Survival Arena

Objective: Survive as long as possible and defeat as many enemies as you can.

  1. Touching an enemy while not dashing costs a heart. You have three.
  2. Dash through enemies to defeat them. The ring around you turns green when the dash is ready.
  3. Slimes split into two smaller slimes. Archers shoot arrows, which a dash also passes through.
  4. Defeated enemies sometimes drop a heart.

Scoring

Each enemy is worth 10 points times its place in the current dash combo.

Difficulty levels

Higher difficulty lengthens the dash cooldown.
