Enjoy Playing Goki Dash
I stumbled onto Goki Dash when I was looking for something light and silly to kill a few minutes, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed. You play as this cheeky little roach—Goki—zipping through kitchens, backyards, and who-knows-what-else, trying to snatch crumbs and shiny bits without getting squashed. The controls are refreshingly simple: tap to jump, swipe to slide, and tilt your phone or use on-screen arrows to dodge obstacles. There’s enough challenge sprinkled in with random barricades, hungry pets, and precarious countertops that you never quite know what’s around the corner.
What really sells the game is its charm. The art style is cartoonish but polished, and Goki’s little antennae bobbing as you sprint never fails to crack me up. Every so often you unlock new skins or power-ups—like a burst of speed or temporary invincibility—which feels rewarding without ever turning the game into a pay-to-win slog. There are daily challenges and leaderboards so you can either compete against your own best score or get into a friendly rivalry with pals.
I’ve found myself coming back to it whenever I need a quick palate cleanser after a long work session. It’s got that “one more run” hook without dragging you into hours of grind, and the ad breaks are sweetly timed so they don’t interrupt your momentum. If you’re into endless runners with a quirky twist and don’t mind giving a cockroach a starring role, Goki Dash is worth a spin.
