Level System & XP
How the FangDash level system works — earn 1 XP per point scored, grab race placement bonuses, and climb a cubic XP curve that scales with skill.
TL;DR — Every point you score is 1 XP. Race podium finishes add a bonus (1st = 500, 2nd = 250, 3rd = 100). Levels follow a cubic curve, so early levels fly by and later ones reward real dedication.
Your level is the running total of everything you've earned in FangDash. It climbs as you score, survive, and race — a single number that reflects how much time and skill you've poured into the game.
How you earn XP
| Source | XP earned |
|---|---|
| Score points | 1 XP per point scored |
| 1st place race | 500 bonus XP |
| 2nd place race | 250 bonus XP |
| 3rd place race | 100 bonus XP |
| 4th place race | No bonus XP |
Every point counts as 1 XP, whether you're playing solo or racing. See Scoring for how points are earned (10 per second survived, 50 per obstacle cleared). Race placements stack a bonus on top of your score.
You need to be signed in with Twitch to bank XP. Solo play works without an account, but XP, levels, and unlocks only save once you sign in. Cheated runs are stored but grant no XP.
The level curve
Levels use a cubic formula:
totalXpForLevel(n) = 5 × (n − 1)³The XP needed for a single level is the gap between two totals: totalXpForLevel(n) − totalXpForLevel(n − 1). Because the curve is cubic, early levels come fast and higher levels take real commitment.
| Level | Total XP needed | XP for this level |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | — |
| 2 | 5 | 5 |
| 3 | 40 | 35 |
| 5 | 320 | 185 |
| 10 | 3,645 | 1,085 |
| 15 | 13,720 | 2,735 |
| 20 | 34,295 | 5,135 |
| 30 | 121,945 | 12,185 |
