Play Dust Dash online
Dust Dash is a top-down cleaning arcade game: you are Dusty, a round little robot vacuum, and the living room is a disaster zone.
Dust motes are scattered everywhere — under the sofa, behind the bookshelf, all over the rug. Roll over them and your suction ring slurps them up for points.
But Miso the cat is on the prowl. Every few seconds she knocks over a plant, shreds a pillow, or just sheds — each new dust puff lowers your cleanliness rating.
You have 120 seconds to push the room's cleanliness to 90% or better. Every mote counts, every second counts, and the cat is not helping.
Your best score lives in your browser, waiting to be beaten.
How to control Dust Dash
- Move: WASD / arrow keys, or drag / tap anywhere (Dusty follows your pointer)
- M: mute audio
- Enter: start / play again
How to play
- 1
You are Dusty, a robot vacuum. Move with WASD/arrow keys or drag anywhere — Dusty rolls toward your pointer.
- 2
Dust within your suction ring is pulled in and collected: +10 points per mote. Your cleanliness rating counts every mote, including fresh ones.
- 3
Miso the cat roams the room and drops new dust puffs every few seconds — fresh puffs lower your rating until collected.
- 4
Reach 90% cleanliness before the 120-second timer ends to win. Your best score is saved locally. Best played with sound on.
Tips for a better run
Head for clusters first — one pass through a dense patch can collect five motes at once.
The suction ring (dashed circle) is bigger than it looks: park next to furniture and let it pull dust from under the edges.
Watch Miso's tail — she drops a puff right after pausing. Grab fresh puffs early before they drift.
Use pointer control in tight spots: drag precisely between the coffee table legs.
Cleanliness counts every mote dropped by the cat too — you can't ignore Miso and win.
Frequently asked questions
Is Dust Dash related to any existing cleaning game?
No. Dust Dash is fully original: the vacuum-cleaner-versus-mischievous-cat concept, Dusty the robot vacuum, Miso the cat, all furniture layouts, and all code, art, and audio are original works. No third-party IP is referenced.
How do I play?
Drive the robot vacuum with WASD/arrow keys or by dragging/tapping anywhere — Dusty rolls toward your pointer. Dust within the suction ring gets pulled in and collected. Watch out: Miso the cat keeps dropping fresh dust puffs.
Any strategy tips?
Chase the nearest clusters instead of single motes — the suction ring grabs everything in range. Corner dust under furniture is still reachable: the suction ring is wider than the sofa. Cut off Miso's patrol routes to collect puffs before they scatter.
