Seaside Sprint
A fast endless runner with sharp corners. Pick your runner from eight beach kids, then race a boardwalk that twists left and right through five places: the beach, a lily-pad pond, a river, a reedy marsh and the woods. Swipe the way the arrow points to take each corner, jump missing planks and logs, slide under branches and nets, and grab gold rings for points. Catch a hang glider to fly, a magnet to pull rings in, a bubble that saves you once, or a rocket board to zoom through anything. Every 500 meters a new wave starts: faster, with a bigger multiplier. Rings you collect add up between runs and unlock new runners.

How to play
- Your runner races down the boardwalk on their own and gets faster the longer you last.
- The boardwalk turns 90 degrees left and right. An arrow sign and a rail mark each corner: swipe that way just before you reach it. Miss it and you run into the rail.
- Change lanes to get around towers, crab traps, carts and fallen trees.
- Jump over low things like logs, sandcastles and ducks, and over gaps where planks are missing. Slide under branches, towel lines and nets.
- Grab gold rings for 10 points each. You also score for every meter you run and a bonus for every corner.
- Bump into something head on and the run is over. Bump the side of something and you stumble, but a second stumble soon after ends the run.
- Every 500 meters is a new wave: faster, with a bigger score multiplier. Shells add up between runs: Clare unlocks at 150, George at 400, Joan at 800, then John, Catherine, Joseph and Thérèse.
Controls
- Computer: use the arrow keys or A and D to change lanes and turn corners, Up, W or Space to jump, and Down or S to slide. You can also drag with the mouse.
- Phone or tablet: swipe left or right to change lanes, swipe up to jump and swipe down to slide.
- Press P or Esc, or tap the pause button, to take a break.
- The sound button turns sound on or off.
Tips
- Look ahead, not at Pip. Big things in the distance give you lots of time to pick a lane.
- Swipe down while you're in the air to drop fast, then slide straight under the next towel line.
- Wait until you're past something before you switch lanes, or Pip will bump its side.
- A kite lets you fly over everything and grab a line of shells in the sky.
- Magnet starfish pull shells to you, and a bubble saves you from one bump.
