How to Play wave rider
Steer left and right with arrow keys or A/D. Your vessel pitches with the waves, so inputs translate to trim adjustments rather than instant direction changes.
Ride down wave faces to build speed. Descending the swell accelerates you; climbing back up the next wave slows you - manage the rhythm to maintain flow.
Launch off crests to catch air. Airtime enables tricks and lets you clear obstacles that would be fatal on the surface.
Dodge surface hazards by steering. Rocks and mines appear on the wave face and require lateral movement to avoid.

Tips & Strategies
Read the wave ahead, not the one you're on. The next swell's shape determines whether to push for speed or set up a jump - reacting to the current wave is too late.
Chain tricks during airtime. Combo multipliers stack, so a clean launch into multiple tricks scores far more than a single trick per jump.
Don't boost into blind air. Launching without reading the landing zone risks obstacle collisions - check what's ahead before committing to a big jump.
Stay centered on the wave when not tricking. The edges cluster hazards; the middle face is the safest cruising line.

About wave rider
Wave Rider on Fish It Game is an endless ocean runner where you steer a vessel across rolling waves, catching air off crests and dodging obstacles that surface in your path. The wave physics drive the whole feel - your craft pitches and rolls with the swell, and reading the next wave's shape tells you whether to push for speed or brace for a hazard.
Speed comes from riding down the face of waves; air comes from launching off crests. The interplay creates a flow state where you're constantly adjusting trim to either build momentum or set up a jump. Misread a wave and you either bog down in a trough or launch blindly into an obstacle.
Hazards - rocks, mines, sea creatures - appear on the wave surface and in the air during jumps. Some you dodge by steering; others you avoid by managing your launch trajectory so you clear them airborne.
Distance and trick score combine into the total. Tricks during airtime add multipliers, so skilled players don't just survive - they style on the waves for higher scores. The ocean theme fits the site, and the fluid motion is the draw.
