Sandy Beach Runner
The tide is coming in — keep moving!
Sandy Beach Runner is a fast, one-thumb arcade game set on a sun-drenched beach. You're a barefoot beachgoer hopping across the sand as the sea pushes waves toward shore. Tap anywhere to leap, and time your hops to stay ahead of the tide.
How to play
Tap anywhere on the sand to hop to that spot.
Each wave's calm center is safe — but its foamy edge is dangerous. Touch it and you lose health.
Leap over a wave's edge to score a point.
Lose all your health and you lose a life; lose all three and the run is over.
Features
Simple one-thumb controls — easy to learn, tough to master.
Jump Energy meter: long leaps cost more, so pick your landings.
Health meter and three lives per run.
Levels: every 20 points advances a level. Some levels wash each wave away once you clear it; others leave it rolling as a hazard.
20 levels of rising difficulty — waves spawn faster and grow quicker.
Collect Medicine Bows to restore health.
Relaxing ocean ambience and sound effects, with background-music and game-sound toggles in the menu.
How long can you stay ahead of the tide?
