Zrist DX is a free online arcade game you can play right here in your browser, with no download and no sign-up.

A few things the tags reveal: there is no final level; the game continues until you fail, and distance or score is the goal; the structure is classic arcade — quick rounds, rising difficulty and a score to beat.

Tips and tricks
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
- Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
- Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
- Because this is a Retro game, old-school games rarely explain themselves; experiment.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
