River Strike Unblocked

Pilot a jet up a twisting river, dodge the banks, blast boats and keep the fuel gauge from hitting empty.

now playing: River Strike

Your fuel gauge is the real enemy. River Strike unblocked sends a small jet up a twisting river where the banks, boats and blocks will all end your run on contact, and every second you burn more fuel.

It is one of the games in Frank Force's LittleJS Arcade, drawn with clean flat shapes so you can read the screen at a glance even at speed.

How to play River Strike

The jet always flies forward. Steer to stay over the water, since clipping a bank crashes you right away. Push up to go faster or down to slow down, and let go to return to normal speed.

Red boats cross the river and dark blocks stick out from the shore. Shoot them for points, but never touch them. Yellow fuel depots will not hurt you, and each one refills a large part of your tank and adds points.

Your score and fuel bar sit at the top. Run out of fuel or hit anything solid and the run ends. Press Enter or fire to start over on a brand new river.

Tips

  • Do not shoot fuel you need. Blasting a depot scores the same as flying through it but gives you no fuel.
  • Cruise when you can. Going fast burns fuel quicker, so only speed up to reach a depot or slip past a boat.
  • Slow down for narrow parts. Easing off gives you more time to steer through tight bends and crowded stretches.
  • Clear the lane early. Shoot boats while they are still far ahead so they never drift into your path.
  • Plan your next refill. Glance at the gauge whenever a depot comes into view and decide if you need it.

River Strike questions

Is the river the same every run?

No. A new river is built each game, so the turns, boats and depots move around.

Does speed affect fuel?

Yes. The jet always uses some fuel, and it burns faster the quicker you fly.

Can I play River Strike on a tablet?

Yes. After your first touch, a thumbstick shows up on the left to steer and change speed, plus two buttons on the right. Use the bottom one to shoot.
