Snow Rider 3D

About Snow Rider 3D

Snow Rider 3D puts you on a sled at the top of a snowy hill and asks one simple question: how far can you get? The run keeps going until you crash, so every extra stretch of slope adds to your score.

You steer left and right to slip past whatever is in your path and hop over hazards when there is no room to turn. Gifts are scattered along the route, and collecting them lets you buy new sleds. The 3D view and steady sense of speed make each attempt feel like a real downhill ride.

How to play Snow Rider 3D

• Left arrow or A - steer left
• Right arrow or D - steer right
• Up arrow or W - jump

Playing Snow Rider 3D on a computer

Click Play now, wait out any brief ad, and press PLAY when the distributor's screen appears. Steer the sled with the left and right arrows or A and D, and jump with the up arrow or W. The run ends at your first crash, so distance is the score. Use the Fullscreen button under the game; a bigger view of the slope buys an extra beat to react.

Playing Snow Rider 3D on a phone or tablet

Snow Rider 3D expects a keyboard. Clearing a hazard often means steering and jumping at nearly the same moment with separate keys, and the game has no touch input to stand in for them. A laptop, desktop PC or Chromebook gives you the control the slope needs. For winter fun on a phone, browse the titles marked "Desktop and mobile" instead.

On a phone right now? Try Basket Random, Amaze and Coreball - they are built for touch screens.

Tips and tricks

• Look ahead rather than at your sled so you can react early.
• Save jumps for spots where steering around is not possible.
• Grab gifts when it is safe, then put them toward a new sled.
