In final testing — Android release coming soon

Tiny worlds for the minutes in between.

MiniScape Games makes small, sharp games for your phone — the kind you start at a bus stop and put away when your stop arrives. Portrait, one thumb, no fuss. The first one is nearly done.

A brand of Aivion Studios

Two Android phones showing the Midnight Dash menu and a run through the aurora world.

Now announcing

The Midnight Dash app icon: three neon cars on a dark three-lane road.

Midnight Dash Neon Overdrive

A three-lane night drive that never ends. Tap left, tap right, hold your line a little longer than last time.

You get one road, three lanes and a car that will not slow down. Everything else — the barriers, the crystals, the boost pads, the weather — arrives at you in the dark and you have about half a second to decide.

It is built to be picked up. No account, no tutorial, no five-minute intro. Open it, tap, and you are driving. Put your phone away mid-run and the road is still there when you come back.

The reel

One unedited run, recorded on a Samsung S26 Ultra.

Six worlds

The road changes under you.

Each world has its own weather, its own obstacles and its own way of hiding them. You drive your way into the next one — the score on each tile is the price of entry.

Start here

Forest

Rain on the windshield, pines flicking past the guard rails. Where every run begins.

Unlocks at 150

Desert Rally

Purple lightning over a canyon of rust. Obelisks mark the lanes; sand cuts the visibility.

Unlocks at 250

Enchanted

Overgrown ruins lit from below. The barriers here are fallen logs, and they sit low.

Unlocks at 350

Snowline

A whiteout at full speed. Ice blocks where the shoulder used to be.

Unlocks at 450

Aurora

Northern lights over black water, crystal fields on both sides of the road.

The Deep world in Midnight Dash Unlocks at 600

Deep

The last one. Sits below the waterline and is still being tuned.

What comes at you

Neon crystals
Glowing mushrooms
Frozen firs
Coral clusters
Log barrier
Energy barrier

The garage

Three cars, three ways to lose.

They differ in top speed, grip and how much room they give you to change your mind. All three are unlocked from the start — there is nothing to buy.

The Crimson Coupe from Midnight Dash, seen from behind with its tail lights on. Starter

Crimson Coupe

The balanced one. Predictable grip and a top speed you can still read the road at.

The Violet Hypercar from Midnight Dash, seen from behind with cyan light bars lit. Speed

Violet Hypercar

The fastest thing in the garage and the least forgiving. Brilliant on a straight, awful in a whiteout.

The Orange Rally truck from Midnight Dash, seen from behind with red tail lights. Grip

Orange Rally

Heavy, stubborn, slow off the line — and the one that holds its lane when the sand comes in.

What is in the build

Eight things, and then it is finished.

01

One thumb

Tap the left or right half of the screen. That is the entire control scheme, and it does not grow later.

02

A garage

Three cars with their own top speed, grip and handling. Pick the one that suits the world you are about to lose in.

03

Daily Run

One seeded track per day. Everybody drives the same road, and you get one honest attempt at it.

04

Combo, not caution

Near-misses stack a multiplier. Drive safely and you will never beat your own best score.

05

Things to grab

Crystals, boost pads, a laser that clears your lane for six seconds, and a shield that buys you exactly one mistake.

06

Weather and a bend

Rain, sand and snow per world, on a road that curves — so the lane you memorised keeps moving.

07

A score that writes itself

The synthwave soundtrack is generated as you drive, so it never loops back on itself the same way.

08

Yours, offline

No account, no sign-in, no network call. High scores stay on your phone and nothing leaves it.

The studio

Small games, made on purpose.

MiniScape Games is the games arm of Aivion Studios. The plan is deliberately unambitious: make small games that are finished, that run well on a phone, and that respect the ten minutes you actually have.

No open worlds, no season passes, no energy timers. A game gets released when it is done, stays free, and keeps getting updates because that is more fun than charging for it.

Bigger things will come. Not yet.

Phone first
Portrait, one hand, short sessions. Designed for the bus, not the desk.
Free and clean
No ads, no in-app purchases, no analytics SDK riding along.
Finished
Released when it plays well, not when a roadmap says so.

Questions

The things people ask first.

When does Midnight Dash come out?

It is in final testing. The Android release is coming soon and there is no store link yet, because the build is not on Google Play.

What does Midnight Dash cost?

Nothing. It is free permanently, with no advertising, no in-app purchases and no subscription.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. There is no account and no network call at all. Your high scores, unlocked worlds and settings stay in the app storage on your own phone.

Which platforms is it on?

Android first, portrait only, one thumb. Nothing is announced for iOS yet.

Does the game collect any data?

No. No analytics, no crash reporter, no advertising SDK. The only permission it asks for is vibration, for haptic feedback.

How many worlds are there?

Six: Forest, Desert Rally, Enchanted, Snowline, Aurora and Deep. The first is open from the start; the rest unlock on score.
