If you like Journey
Journey is a cloaked figure crossing sand toward a light, and the sliding down dunes is what many people remember most. TIDEBLADE takes that moment and makes it the whole game. You surf, you fly, you land, you follow the light.
There is no combat and no enemies. The challenge is in keeping your flow and chaining tricks, and the reward is the view: sand haze, god rays and a desert that glows at every crest.
If you like Alto's Odyssey
Alto's Odyssey is sandboarding with a calm mood and a trick system. TIDEBLADE has the same calm, but in 3D with a camera behind your rider. Tricks fill your Tide instead of a score, and the wells give you a place to aim for.
A sand surfing game built on flow: tips for your first ride
Jump from the top of a dune, not the slope. You get more air and more time for tricks.
Do not over-steer. Small moves keep your speed up. If you lose the path, look for the beam of light in the distance.
There are seven collectibles on the counter at the top left, so keep an eye out for glowing shapes off the main line.
