Slipwake
3D arcade racing on the Sundrift Coast: tuck into a rival’s wake to fill your Wake Meter, then boost and slingshot past.
ABOUT
Slipwake (version 1.0.0.6) is a 3D browser racing game built around one idea: every car leaves a wake of still air. Follow close behind a rival and your Wake Meter fills; spend it on a boost to slingshot past.
Drifting through corners also fills the meter, while hitting walls costs speed. Races are three laps by default with up to eight cars, and computer drivers have their own styles: wake hunters, drifters, smooth drivers and chargers.
Season: The Coastal Crown is the story mode with 12 events, six characters and 36 stars. Quick Race, Time Trial with ghosts and medals, and a Daily Challenge that is the same for everyone complete the offline modes.
There are twelve venues, each driven forward and in reverse, seven cars, 16 paints and levels 1–50 with unlocks. Online racing needs the game’s race server, which is not running on TrySomeGames.com yet; the offline modes work fully.
There are 46 achievements (two secret). Progress is saved in your browser, and achievements unlocked while signed in are saved to your TrySomeGames account. The game is in English.

REVIEWS & RATINGS
Editorial review by TrySomeGames — not a player rating
VERDICT: A slick arcade racer where riding the wake is the whole strategy.
The Wake Meter turns every straight into a decision: sit behind a rival to charge it, or pull out early and try to pass on pace alone. Drifting adds a second way to fill it, so corners matter as much as straights.
Season gives the offline game a clear path with characters and stars, and Time Trial and the Daily Challenge make good use of the same circuits. Online racing is the heart of the design, but it needs a race server that is not running on the site yet.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
How does the wake work?
Follow close behind another car to fill the Wake Meter, then press boost (Shift) to slingshot past. Drifting with Space fills it too.
Can I race online?
Online racing needs the game’s race server, which is not running on TrySomeGames.com yet. Season, Quick Race, Time Trial and the Daily Challenge work without it.
