Longboard Slalom
An original precision-carving game on a modeled waterfront promenade, not a downhill race or a skatepark trick game. Ride 48 seeded, finite 10–15-gate courses. Lean has inertia; alternating clean transfers build a rhythm multiplier and a small speed increase. Wide gate-center arcs are safe, while gold diamonds near the inside cone pay a precision bonus. Hold and drag the slide strip to slow and steer with extra damping. Courses progressively vary spacing, offsets and speed, tighten the miss budget from course 16, and introduce blue, striped slide gates from course 25. These require crossing below 7.2 m/s. Earn one to three stars, unlock the next course and save your best score locally. Each course normally lasts roughly 28–40 seconds; an 85-second timeout prevents dead ends. Friends rooms compare separate identical-seed solo runs, not live riders sharing the promenade. Pip is the platform's shared scoreboard computer, not a simulated longboarder.
How to play
- Tap Play, then hold and drag left or right anywhere above the slide strip. Lean toward the indicated opening and release toward neutral as you settle between its cones.
- Reverse lean for the next alternating gate to build rhythm. Ride over a gold diamond without sliding for a tight-line bonus, or take the more forgiving center of the opening.
- Hold and drag the lower slide strip to brake while steering. Blue gates marked ≈ require less than 7.2 m/s. Arrow keys or A/D steer, Space slides, and P or Escape pauses.
Tips
- Start your next arc just after passing a gate. Lean accelerates the board sideways, so neutralize early rather than waiting until you are beside the cone.
- The first three courses have wide openings and allow three mistakes. Later courses permit fewer misses. Three stars require no misses and tight bonuses on at least a third of the gates.
- A slide trades speed and tight-line bonuses for control. Slow before a blue gate, not on its painted line. The HUD shows your current speed.
Questions
Are friends racing together on one promenade?
No. Every room player receives the same seeded solo cone course. The shared Kit compares finite skill scores and supplies optional scoreboard computers and the final podium. No live human riders are rendered.
What is saved, and how does the Daily streak work?
Best score, unlocked courses and earned stars stay on this device. The UTC date selects the same Daily course and seed for everyone. Only a winning Daily run advances the streak, at most once that UTC day; consecutive days extend it and a gap resets it. Animation frames are not saved.
What happens if I change tabs or lose graphics?
Changing tabs pauses the course and requires a deliberate Resume. You can restart from the pause panel. A missing or lost WebGL context shows an actionable reload message; saved progress survives.
