Squall Riders

Squall Riders is out now on Steam for Windows and macOS. It's jet-ski racing on a living ocean: there is no track to follow, only the swell. Climb a wave face flat out, launch off the lip and fly. Every clean landing charges your SURGE boost, and four rival riders launch off the same crests right beside you.

Three tracks, three storms

• Lighthouse Reef: open-sea swell round a lonely lighthouse, from golden hour into a full thunderstorm
• Harbor Surge: slalom between anchored ships, then the storm swell slamming the breakwater as night falls over the city
• Arctic Drift: thread a canyon of towering icebergs and launch off ice ramps below a glacier, from the low polar sun through a snow squall to the aurora

The weather builds while you race: the light drops, rain or snow sweeps in and the swell grows, so the second lap never rides like the first.

Six ways to ride

• Storm Race: two laps against four rivals. First across the line wins
• Time Trial: just you, the course and the ghost of your best run
• Stunt Park: ramps, gaps and rings. Land big, land clean and chain it for 90 seconds
• Splash Ball: one on one against a rival rider, shove a giant ball into their goal and keep it out of yours
• Slalom: carve between the buoys. Every missed gate costs you two seconds
• Big Wave: ride the face of a monster swell and stay on it as long as you dare

Earn Spray in every race and round and spend it in the garage on paint jobs, colors, underglow, decals, bolt-on parts and rider gear. No microtransactions, ever.

Pick one of five riders, each on their own jet ski: Pip the penguin, Kai with her long pink hair, Mara the crocodile, Dex the robot with his flying cape, or Nova the veteran.
