Gameplay
Gameplay
The game can be played with up to four players (local or online) and features three different game modes: Dollar Dash, Hit 'n' Run, and Save the Safe. In Dollar Dash mode, players race around a top-down map collecting cash while trying to avoid other players and obstacles. Players can use power-ups to attack, defend themselves, or outrun their opponents. At set intervals, players can drop off the cash they've collected with a van to score points. The game ends when one player has reached a certain number of points or when the time runs out. • Illustration — A screenshot from the game, from the Dollar Dash mode In Hit 'n' Run mode, players must collect as much cash as possible while driving a car. Players can use power-ups to attack other players, slow them down, or boost their own speed. The game ends when one player has reached a certain number of points or when the time runs out. In Save the Safe mode, one player is designated as the banker and must protect the safe while the other players try to steal it. The banker can use power-ups to defend the safe, while the other players can use power-ups to attack the safe or the banker. The game ends when the safe is stolen or when the time runs out.

Reception
Dollar Dash received "generally unfavorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. Chris Carter at Destructoid stated that "If you're not a mega-fan of the genre though, it's probably best to keep your dollars in your wallet." Kyle Hilliard at Game Informer stated that "Dollar Dash is a simple experience with only three modes. Each level is unique, but the combat feels shallow. Fun can be had in the chaos, making it decent to pick up and play for a few matches, but it lacks lasting appeal…unless you're really into novelty customization items like afro wigs and aviator sunglasses." GamesMaster gave Dollar Dash a "yawn" in their magazine. Taylor Cocke at IGN stated that "There isn't a whole lot to Dollar Dash. It's a simple game about running around, grabbing stuff, and throwing things at friends, and it goes totally overboard with it. With no significant depth or cleverness to it, it's easy for the annoying gameplay imbalances and control issues to ruin the whole thing."
