Hi Riders!

Welcome to new players discovering the game, here's a list of 5 tips to help you get started! 😊

Tip 1: Ride hard!

One of the central aspects of the game is your hoverboard. As you cruise the Cebete planet with it, do tricks and jump over the dunes to gain boost! You'll be much faster, and you'll be able to enjoy incredible gliding sensations.

Tip 2: Boost your Hoverboard

Collect crafting components to upgrade various parts of your Hoverboard. Depending on your play style and preferences, these will help you go faster, jump higher, gain strength and so on!

Tip 3: Ride with style

You can customize your hoverboard. Be on the lookout for exclusive designs hidden on the map and in chests! To note: customization isn't just for looks. A freshly painted hoverboard will be more efficient!

Tip 4: Surf on water

You must have been surprised the first time you tried surfing on water. Surfing on water requires a special crafting componant found in the sandworm's mouth! So collect the Gravitanium by killing your first Sandworm, then upgrade your Hoverboard with it.

Tip 5: Fights

Let's end this list of tips talking about fights! Throughout the game, you'll unlock powers that you can use to weaken or kill enemies from a distance! You can also attack hand-to-hand with fast and heavy attacks for maximum damage.

After these tips, we hope these tips will help you get started, and that your journey to the planet Cebete goes smoothly! Don't hesitate to share your tips in the comments.

See you in Cebete :)
