This community is to find that game you can't remember. Like it's on the tip of your tongue.

If you want to post, use this syntax: [Platform][Estimated Year] A short description of the game.
Example:
[NES][1980]A man jumping on mushrooms

You can add a longer description in the Body. Preferably according to the template in the rules.

If your game is found, change the title by adding [Solved] in front of the title, and the game name. For example:
[Solved][NES][1980s] Super Mario Bros.
If you're not sure about any of the details you can add [Unknown] instead.

Rules:

  1. One game per post
  2. Mark your post if it's solved according to the above syntax
  3. Try using this template when posting:

Platform(s):

Genre:

Estimated year of release:

Graphics/art style:

  • Platform: Mobile
  • Estimated year of release: 2010s
  • Graphics/Art style Semi realism
  • Notable characters: N/A but I think they wore helmets with visors when riding the jet skis
  • Notable gameplay mechanics: You raced on jet skis, the water had strong waves at times, I believe you held down the left side of the screen to go left and vice versa
  • Other details: I think there were traffic light things to start the race and I remember you had to jump over another part of the track on one of the races. I think there were boost/launchpads.

~~Could it be H2Overdrive or Hydro Thunder Hurricane?~~

Edit: re-reading this now, and you said that the platform was "mobile". Sorry, I wasted your time.
Maybe it was one of the Riptide games?

Thank you so much! I think it was Riptide GP 2!!!
