About Snow Rider 3D
Snow Rider 3D is a downhill sledding game. You sit on a sleigh on a snowy slope, and the game is in 3D, so it does a fair job of making you feel you are really riding one. The question every run asks is simple: how far can you get?
You can steer left and right and jump, and there are gifts to collect along the way. Gifts are the currency of the game: gather enough and you can buy a new sleigh. Going as far as you can is how you get a high score, so a good run is one that goes on and on.
The appeal is how simple it is. It needs only three keys - jump, steer left and steer right - and suits both quick breaks and long attempts at a personal best. It plays in landscape view and also supports phones and tablets.
How to play Snow Rider 3D
- Press A or the left arrow to steer left.
- Press D or the right arrow to steer right.
- Press W or the up arrow to jump.
- Steer and jump to keep your run going.
- Collect gifts and travel as far as you can to set a high score.
Tips and tricks
- Make small steering corrections. At speed, a long press sends the sled much further than you intend.
- Look far down the slope and choose your line early instead of reacting at the last moment.
- Do not chase every gift. Distance is what earns a high score, so a gift that puts your run at risk is rarely worth it.
- Jump only when you need to. Keeping the jump for the moments that call for it makes it easier to stay in control.
