Intense River Raid action that starts deep in — the river is narrow from the first second, fuel is scarce, mines recharge faster. Quick and chaotic. Every second counts in this high-pressure variant where mistakes are immediately punished.
Controls
- Arrow Left/Right — Steer jet laterally
- Arrow Up — Accelerate
- Arrow Down — Decelerate
- Space — Fire missile
- Shift — Drop mine
Rules
- Same rules as Hex Raid
- River starts at higher difficulty (narrower from the start)
- Mine cooldown is faster (3 seconds instead of 5)
- Fuel is scarcer — manage it carefully
Strategy Tips
- Mine early, mine often — With a 3-second cooldown, you can drop mines much more frequently. Use them to disrupt your opponent's rhythm.
- Fuel is critical — Scarce fuel means every depot matters. Plan your path to hit fuel depots even if it means fewer enemy kills.
- Narrow river = slower flight — Decelerate in narrow sections. One wrong move at high speed means instant death on the banks.
- Go for big targets — Matches are short and brutal, so every point counts. Prioritize high-value targets.
Inspiration
Inspired by Activision's River Raid (1982) for the Atari 2600.
