New game - Wakerider
I’ve recently finished up working on an entry for the donationcoder.com Accessibility Game Coding Contest. It’s a switch game, which is a game that has only one input (in this case the left mouse button).
The game is called Wakerider. Steer a boat through a series of checkpoints before you run out of time while keeping your wakeboarder from wiping out.

Hi. Any tips for playing this game? I can’t seem to hit the checkpoints. Not as easy to play as DO.
Thanks for your great work!

- Every time you lift up the mouse button, the green arrow will change direction. By rapidly hitting the mouse button you can quickly change the direction of the arrow until you get it pointing where you want.
- When you change direction, your boat will have some inertia, so it slide a little bit while turning. If you are trying to make a very sharp turn (or find yourself going in circles around a checkpoint), try overturning, so that you are aiming your turns a little past where you really want to go.
- Don’t be afraid to slow down when your balance is getting low, it’s usually less punishing on your time than causing a wipeout.
good luck!
