Hill Dash Tips

Hill Dash runs on real physics: weight, grip, springs and torque. That means good driving beats flooring it, every time. Here is how to climb, fly, land and earn more coins.

Climb Without Flipping

Ease off when the nose comes up. On a steep climb the engine's push lifts the front wheels. Hold the gas and the wheelie keeps rising until the car goes over backwards. Lift off for a moment, let the front wheels touch down, then press again.
Carry speed into a hill. Speed is good on the way down and dangerous on the way up. Build it on the downhill before a climb instead of fighting the slope from a standstill.
Let go near the top. Arriving at a crest at full speed throws you into the air. Easing off just before the top keeps the wheels on the ground, which is also faster: in the air the wheels cannot push.
Wheels spinning? Less gas, not more. On sand, mud and ice a spinning wheel has lost its grip; a gentler press lets it bite again.

Steer in the Air

Once the wheels leave the ground, the pedals turn the car: GAS leans it back and BRAKE leans it forward.

Nose pointing down as you fall? Tap GAS to bring it up.
Tail hanging down? Tap BRAKE to bring the nose over.
Aim to land with both wheels together, parallel to the slope below you. Landing on one wheel bounces you; landing on the roof ends the run.

If the car tips past about 70 degrees and you still bring it back onto its wheels, that is a close-call save, and it pays coins.

Fuel and Nitro

Fuel burns all the time, but about three times faster with a pedal down than when you coast. Roll down hills without the gas and the tank lasts much longer.
A red can fills the tank right up, however empty it was. In a free ride the cans get further apart the further you go, so never skip one.
A nitro bottle gives about two seconds of rocket push along the car, on the ground or in the air. You can carry three. Fire one on a long straight, up a hill you would not otherwise make, or to clear a lava crack.
Running dry on long free rides? Upgrade the Fuel tank, or drive the Farm Tractor, which holds the most fuel of any vehicle.

What Tricks Pay

Trick	How	Coins
Flip	A full turn in the air, forwards or backwards, landed on your wheels	50, 200 for a double, 450 for a triple
Big air	1.2 seconds or more off the ground	50 a second
Wheelie	A second or more on the back wheels	40 a second
Close-call save	Nearly over, then back on your wheels	75

Combos. Land another trick within three seconds of the last and it is multiplied: twice for the second, three times for the third, up to five times. A big jump with a flip, straight into a wheelie, pays far more than the same tricks spread out.

Distance pays as well: a bonus every 500 metres, growing each time (50 coins, then 100, then 150 and so on).

Tips for Every World

Green Hills. Learn the basics here: easing off on climbs and levelling the car in the air.
Sun Dunes. Long dunes and a little less grip. Keep momentum over the tops instead of stopping on a slope.
Rain Jungle. On mud, a steady light throttle grips best. Never stop on a muddy slope.
Frost Peaks. Half the grip of grass. Gentle on the gas, and buy the Tyres upgrade before you go.
Red Canyon. The steepest climbs of all. The Engine upgrade and a good run-up matter most here.
Lava Ridge. Stop at the warning sign before a crack, then floor it up the ramp and jump. A nitro bottle makes the jump safe.
Moon Base. Gravity is a fifth of Earth's, so every bump launches you. Expect long flights, steer the whole way down, and upgrade the Suspension for soft landings.

Earn Coins Faster

Collect the daily reward every day: 100 coins on day one, 1,500 on the seventh day in a row.
Play the daily challenge: 1,000 coins for reaching the target, in a car lent to you for the day.
Win the races: up to 2,300 coins each, the first time you win them.
Earn stars on the levels: the third star of a level pays double.
Go for medals in every world's free ride: 250, 750 and 2,000 coins.

Missions pay too, and you always have three. Don't like one? Swap it for 100 coins.
