Summer Rider 3D

Dreaming of going to Hawaii? How about Summer Rider 3D brings Hawaii to you! Embark on an endless adventure, surfing through the rapids, while avoiding dangerous obstacles that can cut your journey short. Collect starfishes, unlock new surfboards, and breeze through the never ending water in style. Don’t get too lost though, you might crash quicker than you can blink. 

Game Overview

Summer Rider 3D online transforms daring players into wave-riders, traversing through a winding river course with a lush backdrop. Riddled with obstacles, the river course will rapidly accelerate its speed, pitting players in an adrenaline rushed adventure. You’ll soon be in dire need of quick reflexes to perform sharp turns, dodge falling columns, and avoid deep chasms. 

Scattered across the route, players will find starfishes that may be endless, but will be hard to collect. These starfish serve as the in-game currency that can be used to buy different surfboards and even jet skis from the arsenal of watercrafts. Though these surfboards only serve for the visual appeal, they still give players the option of customization.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

Endless Runner Format

The classic single player mode provides players with an endless waterway to glide across. Filled with a never ending obstacle course, players will be required to avoid obstacles, while surfing at soaring speeds for as long as possible, until they ultimately crash, ending their fun.

Ever Changing Obstacles

Inclusion of heavily crowded areas with multiple obstacles, and easy going clear waterways will continually test your reflexes. Each run consists of a randomly generated, ever expanding obstacle course that cannot be memorized, keeping the stakes at all times relatively high.

Progressive Difficulty

As players climb the highscore ladder, their surfing speed will continually increase as well. Starting off with a reasonable, and manageable speed, players will steadily pick up speed, until they're soaring through the rapids at dangerously high speeds.

Starfish In-Game Currency

Scattered across the terrain, players will find starfishes all over. These serve as the in-game currency, and though collecting them feels like a tedious task, collecting them is highly advisable. There are also bonus platforms, from which collecting starfishes will be riskier, but significantly more rewarding, since you’ll receive 5 times the normal amount.

Game Modes

Single Player Survival

The single player mode will endlessly continue, with the sole aim of surfing for as long as possible. This is the perfect mode for practicing reflexes, collecting starfish, or crushing your highscore to reach soaring new heights. Think of this mode as your hometown, where you’re allowed to try over and over again, without judgement.

Two Player Duel

This is where things get serious. The offline two player mode pits two players against each other on the same device. The outcome severely depends upon multiple factors, such as skill level, reflexes, quick thinking, or even just pure luck. So, before jumping into the two player mode, make sure you’ve spent ample time practicing your surfing skills, to really amp up the game. 

Tips and Tricks

Jump Control

Though players cannot control the height of their jumps, but would rather have to time their jumps perfectly so landing upon a specific platform or dodging a certain obstacle is possible. This is purely a strategic skill, which can be learnt through practice, improving their overall precision, and prediction.

Starfish Centered Runs

Collecting the in-game currency is an important aspect, however, the progressive difficulty can make it challenging to focus both upon achieving a highscore, and collecting Starfishes. Try keeping Starfish runs separate from highscore runs.

Obstacle Patterns

Though the obstacle pattern will mostly be randomly generated, it would still appear in segments. Try learning the best way to get through each segment by replaying the single player mode multiple times, since this would help players anticipate turns as well as chasms or drop zones. 

Bonus Platforms

When encountering soaring high platforms, don’t shy away from jumping on top of them. More often than not pressing jump again once landed upon the platform will send players soaring forward high into the sky, covering a significant amount of distance quickly.
