🪖 HIT THE DIRT! — Trench Assault Runner

No Man's Land is waiting. The whistle blows. Charge!

Hit the Dirt! is an intense, single-touch WW1 trench assault runner. Sprint through devastating machine gun crossfire, slide into mud-soaked sandbag redoubts, dodge night flares and mortar craters, and storm the enemy frontline bunker to hoist your regiment's banner!


🎯 How to Play (Single-Touch Controls)

Everything is controlled with a single button or finger:

--- CONTROLS ----------------------------------------
[HOLD SPACE] / [HOLD CLICK] ..... Sprint forward across No Man's Land
[RELEASE] ....................... Slide low into cover / drop prone in the mud
  • Listen for the Officer's Whistle: When the machine gun reloads, that is your window to sprint!
  • Read the Bullet Swarms: If red tracer rounds begin to fire, release immediately to dive behind the nearest sandbag redoubt.
  • Beware the Night Flares: If an illumination flare shoots into the sky, duck into cover or you will be spotted!

🎖️ Key Features

  • ⚡ One-Touch Adrenaline: Easy to pick up in 3 seconds, brutally challenging to master.
  • 🛡️ 5 Intense Campaign Sectors: From Boot Camp training grounds to rain-soaked trenches and the burning inferno fortress.
  • ♾️ Endless Trench Mode: Procedurally generated endless redoubts — sprint as far as you can and beat your high score!
  • 🎒 Combat Perks & Economy: Collect ammo crates on the battlefield to unlock Speed Boost, Smoke Screen, and Reinforced Sandbags.
  • ⏱️ Camping Prevention: Stay too long in one trench and enemy mortars will zero in on your position — keep moving!
  • 🎵 Dynamic WW1 Soundscape: Authentic revolver shots, whistle blasts, bullet ricochets, and brass choir victory fanfare.

💡 Field Tactics & Survival Tips

  • Don't Get Greedy: It's better to slide into an early sandbag crater than risk a 2-second sprint into active machine gun fire.
  • Mud is Safe: If there is no sandbag ahead, releasing your touch still makes you drop prone in the mud, halving bullet hit chance.
  • Grab the Crates: Every ammo box collected gives you currency to survive the later, brutal night sectors!
