Dash Tag Game Overview
This game will remind you a lot of Animal Jam in terms of the many different pets and animals you can collect in this game. Since Dash Tag is developed by the same company that published Animal Jam, the similarities should definitely not be too surprising. I don’t have access to the app so credit to Youtube user Yunzil for the screenshots!
In this game, you are able to complete missions daily and collect a lot of cool rewards for completing those missions. There are several types of pets you can collect in this game, and you can play as all of these pets you collect.
The main premise of Dash Tag is that you are trying to escape your babysitter, Misha, and you need to keep running and jumping to make your big escape. You have the ability to unlock various outfits, stats, and even power-ups. There are even pet cars in Dash Tag and this is how you can quickly get through each of the levels.
In this game, you have emeralds which are the premium currency, and the coins are the standard currency of the game. You will need to collect both coins and emeralds in order to purchase the upgrades and various power-ups available.
Review of Dash Tag Beta
I can tell you based off of my first impression of this game that it is definitely going to be a very fun game. There are a lot of obstacles in your way as you try to go through the levels, with coins lined up that you can collect along your route. The soundtrack to Dash Tag is pretty nice too, with it not being annoying or distracting to your game play.
When you look at the graphics, it looks very smooth and the details on the animals are really good. Another thing with the animals is that you do notice some of the Animal Jam designs and details when you begin playing. It is very easy to jump, run, slide, and even control the pet cars. You can easily see how many points you have and how many coins you have collected right at the top of the screen too.
The only negative thing that I have to say about the game up to this point is that it is pretty buggy and there are some glitches involved. This is the beta of the game, so these issues are to be expected. I am sure that the glitches will get worked out before Dash Tag gets out of beta.
For example, you will try to tag a pet and it will not let you. Other times, you go to move right or left and the controls do not work quite as well as they should. Other than these small glitches in the game, I have found it to be a great endless runner game with a mix between Animal Jam and Subway Surfers.

Dash Tag has a lot of nice tips and tricks that you can utilize to try and get a higher score. The first big tip I would give to a new player is to make sure you take your time and learn the basic controls of the game. There are really only four movements that you can use in the game, and they are swiping left, right, up, or down.
Obviously, swiping up will jump, down will duck, left will move you left, and right will move you right. Now, not only is it important to really understand the controls, but understand how long it takes to do a jump, and how long you are in the air for. By knowing this and mastering the controls, you will be able to make your moves more precise and be able to last longer which is the goal of the game.
Also, since the paths are completely random, you will have to improvise and decide which is the best path to take, so you will have to make decisions on the fly. There will never be just one way of moving through the course, you might be able to jump over an obstacle, or move to the side to avoid it completely. It is up to you to decide which movements you are more comfortable with, and which movement you think will result in the least chance of you failing.

Cheats for Dash Tag
Once you have your movement down, I would suggest playing to get the most coins you can. When you are on the path, you will see coins and other kinds of collectibles. You should most definitely prioritize the coins, but over the coins you should prioritize gems and keys. Coins will ultimately allow you to unlock new animals, upgrade your animals, and make them more aesthetically pleasing. At the end of each run, you will see what your high score is, and part of the high score is the amount of coins that you earned from a single run.
By playing to get the most coins, you will make progress into the game and ultimately be able to unlock more things. You will also notice that occasionally, as you are running through the course, you will see new animals on the course. You will be able to capture them by chasing them and following their paths exactly, and tapping on them when the indicator flashes above their heads. Dash Tag gets its name from this sequence of cat and mouse where you must dash along the path and tag the animals that you see.
Another huge tip for new players is to save up your coins. For a lot of people, myself included, you may want to spend your currencies as soon as you acquire them to get that sense of progress. Although it may be satisfying to do so, it is ultimately not going to progress you any further through your collections.My tip would be to save up all of your resources, and wait for special events to purchase things when they are on sale.

You would be surprised, but Dash Tag will often run specials when you can acquire certain animals through the game, and some animals will become discounted as others are released. Another big reason to save up on your currencies is because you will be able to upgrade any animal that you like when you unlock them. So although you may be able to upgrade your very first animal, odds are, that you will unlock something even better as you play through the game.
Dash Tag will often run special missions and login events and I recommend that players take advantage of these. Every day, you can get new quests which will give you the chance to win prizes. These prizes can range from small amounts of currency, to a special animal that is rare and exclusive. Obviously, I think that if you are trying to unlock everything, you should be doing these missions. They take relatively small amounts of time, and give you a reason to log into the game and play it for a while. The missions range from something super simple like play a game, to more time consuming activities like earn X amount of coins in a run.
Dash Tag also has social media connectivity which will allow you to compete with your friends on a leaderboard. I definitely recommend taking advantage of these features as they will give you something to play for. Playing solely against yourself can sometimes become a little bit boring, so having that leaderboard will allow you to play against your friends. You also get a big bonus for connecting your social media account to the game, which will inevitably help you unlock more animals and allow you to expand your collection.
