How to play Saltwind

Saltwind is a free 3D endless ride in your browser. A pelican on a bicycle pedals a coast road through Harbour Town, Lighthouse Bay, Palm Causeway and Dune Road. Steer between three lanes, jump what you can, and see how far you get before you run out of lives.

Controls

On a phone, swipe to steer and tap twice to double jump.

Obstacles, rings and boost

Crates and hurdles are low enough to jump. Signs are not: steer around them. You have three lives, and each crash costs one. Rings give bonus points, more if you collect them in quick succession, and they fill the energy bar. A full bar lets you boost for a few seconds: you ride much faster and smash through anything in your way.

Power-ups

Gears and scoring

Your score is distance plus ring and power-up bonuses. Every 4,000 points the bike shifts into a higher gear and the road comes at you faster, so the later stretches need quicker lane changes. Six camera views, from the chase camera to a gull’s-eye view, change how the ride looks without changing the game.

Your best ride goes onto the daily and all-time tables after the server replays it from its seed and your inputs.

FAQ

Is Saltwind free?
Yes. It runs in your browser with no download.
Does Saltwind end?
No. The road keeps going and keeps getting faster until you lose your last life.
Which camera is best?
Chase is the easiest for reading lanes. The others are for fun and do not change your score.
