Double dash and big gaps?

[RockPaperBazooka]

If i get the double dash ability, will i be able to go across bigger gaps to access platforms farther away

It's not really a double dash. By default you can dash three times in a single chain, the upgrade lets you dash infinitely in a chain. You can not dash over gaps because there is nothing for your Drifter to dash on, he must have some sort of surface to jump off of.

I wondered this too for the longest time, but after beating the game and discovering there was no way to upgrade the dash to cover longer distances I realised you could access basically all the secrets (aside from those locked behind keys, of course) right from the start. A lot of them are pretty tricky, and involve hopping across invisible platforms that can only be revealed by standing in specific spots that give you an interaction prompt.

It is correct that the dash will not allow you to dash more than once if there is no ground below you, but I did just come across a situation where dashing twice allowed me to cross a gap that I otherwise could not.

I got stuck in a certain area where it was impossible to go back (not the first time in this game) and there was a jump in front of me that was just barely too long to make. I tried standing right at the edge and dashing or running to the edge, but nothing worked, I fell off probably 6 times and was ready to restart from my last save.

Then I decided to try dashing twice and it worked. For some reason the dash must be programmed to touch the ground farther away on it's start than it's end because starting a second dash where I would normally not reach worked.

thanks for clarifying. I was trying to find out myself, because the game is designed to cultivate madskillz.
