Wave Rider – Fast water surfing arcade game published by OzGames! Ride rushing waves, dodge obstacles, jump over hazards, and collect pearls while trying to go as far as possible. The water never stops flowing. Jump in and ride now!
Riding the Waves
You start with a fast drop from a waterfall into a long river full of dangers. Use Left / Right Arrow to steer sideways. Press Spacebar or Up Arrow to jump or glide. The board moves forward by itself — you just need to react and avoid hitting things.
As you go farther, the river gets harder. Strong currents, underwater plants, sudden barriers, and tight turns appear. Pearls show up on risky paths — grab them for extra points but don't crash. Your durability drops when you hit obstacles. When it hits zero, the run ends.
Tips to Go Farther
- Steer early — small moves work better than big ones.
- Jump only when needed — time it right or you miss the landing.
- Save jumps for big gaps or dangerous parts.
- Take pearls only when it's safe — don't risk everything for one.
- Learn where obstacles usually appear — they often come in groups.
- Restart fast — each try helps you remember the dangers.
How the Game Works
It's one endless run. The longer you survive, the faster the water flows and the more obstacles appear. Distance gives you points. Try to beat your own best distance every time.

The board moves fast and smooth on the water. Steering feels quick. Early parts are exciting and easy to learn.

Jumping at the perfect time feels good. 1–5 minute runs: crashing is annoying, but making a long run feels great. You always want to try again to beat your previous distance.
