Directory Dash

Directory Dash is a free, one-tap browser game built by Blastra, an AI tool that automates real directory submissions for founders. It turns the experience of submitting a startup to online directories into a Geometry Dash-style rage game: your product is a cube that has to run, jump, and survive its way through a run of fake startup directories in a single continuous level, dodging rejection spikes, one-star review stars, captcha blocks, newsletter and cookie popups, falling category dropdowns, and slow "pending review" zones, while speed-boosting "expedite fee" portals push the pace faster and faster.

The core idea is simple: it treats the player the way real directories treat founders. You try, you die, you read a short, dry rejection message, and you try again. Messages disappear quickly on purpose, giving you barely enough time to read them before the next obstacle. Dying and reading the snarky copy is the point, not a side effect. Finishing cleanly is meant to feel like a genuine miracle.

One-tap controls: tap, click, or press any key to jump, hold to keep jumping. Nothing else to learn.

A fresh set of fake directories every run: names are pulled at random from a larger pool of fictional, satirical directory names, so no two runs look quite the same, even though the level layout and physics are solver-verified to always be beatable.

Checkpoints that double as progress: passing a directory's flag both "lists" the startup there and sets a checkpoint. Checkpoints are on by default; turning them off restarts the run from scratch and is the hardest way to finish the game.

A results card built for sharing: every run ends with a shareable image card, listings, deaths, time survived, and a stamp (usually "REJECTED"), with one-click buttons to post it to X or LinkedIn, or just copy the text.

A leaderboard of the worst runs, not just the best: an in-context arcade board ranks players by how badly their run went, with their own row highlighted.

Difficulty that ramps honestly: the first directories are forgiving, the back half is deliberately brutal, with jump windows down to a few frames, but every layout is solver-checked so it is always beatable and holding jump forever is never a shortcut.

Total honesty about what is fake: the game's own footer says plainly which directories are invented for the joke, and separately lists the real directories Blastra has actually submitted the game to, wins and rejections both.

Directory Dash is made by Blastra, a SaaS tool that automates real directory submissions, content adaptation, and ongoing listing maintenance for founders. The game is free, requires no signup, and says plainly in its own footer that nothing entered into it is actually submitted anywhere.
