Medals and Achievements
Flappy Dash keeps two kinds of trophy. Medals measure how far a run went. Achievements measure how it was flown. Here is every one, and how to earn it.
Medals
Every run that ends earns the highest medal its score reaches. The Game Over card shows your medal and how many points you need for the next one, so a near miss of a medal is always one run away.
| Medal | Score | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 10 | You have the rhythm. Most players earn it within their first few runs. |
| Silver | 25 | You have survived THE DEEP and reached the UNDERWORLD, which begins at 24. |
| Gold | 50 | You have flown all five worlds once: SKYLINE, THE DEEP, UNDERWORLD, CACTUS CANYON and THE EYE. |
| Platinum | 100 | You have gone round the worlds and back. A rare medal, and the one to show off. |
Your score can rise faster than one point per column. Fever doubles every point after ten clean columns in a row, and some powers multiply your score while they burn, so a strong run can reach a medal sooner than the column count suggests.
Achievements
Achievements are checked when a run ends, never halfway through, because several of them are about a whole run. Each is earned once and stays in your Record screen. They pay no coins: they are a record of what you have managed, not a shop.
| Achievement | What it needs |
|---|---|
| THREADER | Eight close calls in one run |
| DAREDEVIL | Five close calls in a row |
| UNTOUCHED | Reach 20 points without spending a shield |
| WRECKER | Destroy four columns in one run |
| EXTERMINATOR | Shred six hazards in one run |
| ARSENAL | Fire six powers in one run |
| UNBROKEN | Clear twenty-five columns in a row without a hit |
| TOURIST | See all five worlds in one run |
How to Earn Each One
THREADER
A close call is passing a column with only a whisker of room to spare. They do not need to be in a row, so you can collect them across a long run. The best place is SKYLINE, where nothing moves: fly the bottom edge of the gap on purpose, a little closer each time.
DAREDEVIL
The harder cousin of THREADER: five close calls one after another, with no comfortable pass in between. The STEADY HAND power helps, because while it burns a safe pass does not break your chain. Try it early in a run, when the gaps are widest.
UNTOUCHED
Reach 20 points without a shield ever breaking. You can carry shields; you just cannot use one. That means flying THE DEEP cleanly, so practise the slower rhythm the water needs before you try for this.
WRECKER
Columns can only be destroyed two ways: the BREAKTHROUGH power, which smashes straight through up to ten columns during a surge, and the Grow pickup, which swells the bird for a moment so it can break one. Owning BREAKTHROUGH makes this one straightforward.
EXTERMINATOR
Shredding means destroying a creature or a projectile with a power. Three powers do it: DUST DEVIL, whose vortex shreds anything the bird flies through; THUNDERBOLT, whose lightning strikes a creature every second; and BREAKTHROUGH, which ploughs through whatever it meets. Every shred also pays a coin. Pick a world with plenty of creatures, such as CACTUS CANYON, and let the surge do the work.
ARSENAL
Every power you own fires when your surge meter fills, so ARSENAL comes from owning several powers and surviving long enough for the meter to fill. Six powers in a single surge does it at once; fewer powers across two or three surges also counts.
UNBROKEN
Twenty-five columns without a hit of any kind. A shield breaking counts as a hit, so this is about flying, not about carrying shields. Fever lights up at ten clean columns; UNBROKEN asks you to keep it alive two and a half times as long.
TOURIST
Enter all five worlds in one run. That means surviving four world changes, which at 12 points each normally means a score of 48. Score multipliers can carry you through a world faster, but you still have to see all five.
