Talking Tom Hero Dash Guide: Tips, Cheats and Strategies

Talking Tom Hero Dash is a brand new endless runner featuring mobile’s favourite cat. You’ll play as Tom and his friends as you collect a bunch of coins and power-ups, and punch nasty raccoons that are destroying the city.

In this guide, we’re going to give you a bunch of tips and tricks to help you progress faster in this awesome runner. Before you know it, you’ll have totally cleaned up the city.

Talking Tom Hero Dash Tips and Tricks:

• Collect everything: As you run endlessly through the city, you’ll see a bunch of different things to collect. These include coins and boosts, and we recommend carving a path that picks up the most stuff along the way. Coins will help you out with a few of our tips below, while boosts are very handy for collecting even more coins, avoiding obstacles, and escaping game over.
• Punch raccoons: Punching raccoons actually serves a pretty big purpose in Talking Tom, aside from how darn cathartic it is. Each 50 you punch into oblivion earn you a free crate, which you can open to get gems, coins, and costume pieces. More on that later.
• Clean up the city: Coins you should spend on cleaning up the city. Each district is currently under assault by naughty raccoons who are basically doing to the city what we’re doing to the environment. Fortunately, you can pay our hero Talking Tom to punch them into dust and give the city a nice sweep too, unlocking a higher score bonus.
• Sharpen your reflexes: The longer you live, the fastest the game gets. While the early minutes feel like a nice jog through the park, you’ll eventually feel like you need superhuman levels of reflexes just to stay alive. Don’t worry though, as the longer you play, the longer you’ll last. Your reflexes will naturally improve over time. Stick with it.
• Unlock new costumes: Open crates and you’ll unlock costume pieces. Eventually, these lead to entirely new costumes that will considerably boost your score while wearing them. Keep opening crates as often as possible.
