Multiplayer Overview

FangDash multiplayer pits you against up to 3 other players in real-time. Everyone runs the same obstacle course at once, and the highest score when the dust settles wins the race.

You need to be signed in with Twitch to race. Solo play works without an account, but multiplayer, saved scores, and XP all require signing in — see Sign In.

How to start a race

The first player in a room is the host. If the host leaves, host duties migrate automatically to another player, so the room keeps running.

Fair by design

Every racer faces the exact same obstacles. FangDash generates the course from a single shared seed using a seeded random number generator, so the layout is identical for everyone in the room — no player gets an easier run. Solo play uses its own separate seed.

Rooms move through four states as you play: waiting → countdown → racing → finished.

What you see mid-race

During a race, other players appear as ghosts running alongside you. You can't collide with them, but you can watch their live progress and gauge how far ahead or behind you are. Solo runs don't have ghosts.

Winning

The race runs until every player has crashed. Results are sorted by highest score, with earlier death time breaking any ties, and the standings are saved to race history with placements.

Race XP bonuses

On top of the XP you earn from your score (1 point = 1 XP), your finishing place awards bonus XP:
