Rip-Tide Racer is a 2000 video game developed and published by Cryo Interactive for the Game Boy Color. Players race futuristic hoverbikes named waterpods across eight courses. Upon release, the game received negative reviews, with most critics finding the game was difficult to control, and competing racers were too slow to be challenging.
Players compete against other racers to race futuristic hoverbikes named waterpods. In Time Trial mode, players select one of three hoverbikes, with different levels of speed or armor, and must complete three laps against three opponents, with eight courses on offer.[1][2] Players can also collect power-ups, including shields, mines and a turbo boost.[2] In Deathmatch mode, players must defeat all their opponents throughout the stage in a set time limit. The game features eight courses. Bikes have weapons allowing players to shoot and slow down their competitors.[1] The game supports local multiplayer play using the Game Link Cable in which players compete against each other and computer racers.[3][1]
