Jimothy Dash is a free browser arcade game starring Jimothy, the viral short-spined raccoon from Seattle. You guide Jimothy on a walk through the campground: jump obstacles, dodge barrels, collect pinecones, and dive into dumpsters for extra hearts. How far can you waddle?
Survive as long as you can and rack up the highest score. You start with 3 hearts ❤️❤️❤️ — every time you smack into an obstacle you lose one. Lose all three and it's GAME OVER. Your score climbs the farther you travel, and your best run is saved as your HI-SCORE so you can chase it next time.
| Input | What Jimothy does |
|---|---|
| ◀ ▶ | Walk left and right through the campground |
| Z (hold) | Run faster — great for covering ground, risky near obstacles |
| SPACE / tap | Jump over obstacles and ledges (works on touch screens too) |
| X | Throw a pinecone to smash obstacles ahead of you |
On mobile, just tap the screen to jump — the game is fully playable with touch.
Pinecones are your ammo. Walk into a pinecone pile to scoop up 12 pinecones at once — your pinecone count is shown next to the 🌰 icon. Press X to lob one forward and clear an obstacle in your path. Pinecones are limited, so don't waste them on obstacles you could simply jump.
Hearts are life. You begin every run with 3. Here's the raccoon twist: keep an eye out for the dumpster — climb in and Jimothy can snag bonus hearts to extend your run. If you're down to your last heart, hunting the dumpster is always worth the detour.
Jimothy's walk doesn't stay in one place. Survive long enough and the world shifts around you:
Your SCORE grows with distance traveled. The HUD also tracks your pinecone stash (🌰) and hearts (❤️) in real time, plus your all-time HI-SCORE so every run has a target. Pro tip: the real scoring secret isn't speed — it's survival. A slow, careful run beats a fast, dead one.
