Playing JBay Wave Rider on Android
No Play Store required — here's how to get set up in Chrome on Android.
Paddle Out & Play Free →Just open it in Chrome
On Android, JBay Wave Rider runs in Chrome or any other modern Android browser without a Play Store listing. Open the site, tap Paddle Out, and you're playing — no APK, no permissions dialog, no account.
Add it to your home screen
In Chrome, tap the three-dot menu and choose Add to Home screen (sometimes shown as "Install app"). This drops an icon on your home screen that opens the game directly in a full-screen view, close to how a native app would feel.
Controls on Android
Tap to trick over low obstacles, swipe up or down to switch lanes on the wave. See our full how to play guide for the complete control breakdown.
Performance across devices
Android covers an especially wide range of hardware, from budget phones to flagships. Because the game is built with lightweight HTML, CSS and JavaScript rather than a heavy engine, it's designed to stay smooth even on older or lower-spec Android devices — see our browser games guide for why that approach helps performance.
Progress saving on Android
Progress saves locally in Chrome's site storage on your device. If you clear Chrome's browsing data or site storage, or switch to a different Android browser, you'll start from a fresh save.
