Coast a salt pier on Trope Coast. Read the English line, then steer onto the matching rail before it locks. Simile, metaphor, pun, allusion, oxymoron, and hyperbole sit on rust rails. A clean coast adds Wax. A miss is a wipeout. Built as a seventh-grade grammar race to the tape.
Pick Easy, Medium, or Hard
Easy is Simile, Metaphor, Pun on three rails. Medium adds Oxymoron and Hyperbole. Hard mixes Allusion onto five rails. The run starts on its own.
Read the English line
The pier board shows one sentence. Find the figurative language. The chip says Steer to the matching rail.
Steer onto that rail
Tap a lane or swipe up and down. Be on the matching rail before it locks. A miss costs a wheel. Eight rails finish at Crossed the tape!
Chase Wax
Streaks grow Wax. A full clean run adds a bonus. Beat your best, then tap Coast again.
Steer to the matching rail
A cedar sign holds one English line. Rails roll in from the water stamped Simile, Metaphor, Pun, and more. Tap or swipe to change lanes before the rail locks.
Wipeout or clean coast
The right rail flashes mint and throws sparks. The wrong rail is a wipeout. The sign then says That rail was Simile or whichever term locked.
Three coasts
Easy uses Simile, Metaphor, and Pun on three rails. Medium adds Oxymoron and Hyperbole on four faster rails. Hard mixes Allusion onto five rails.
Wax that moves
Hits add hundreds plus a streak. A labeled Wax plaque, flying +points, and a saved best stay on the pier. Eight rails reach Crossed the tape!
Trope Coast is a figurative-language race on a salt pier. An iguana coasts toward rust rails labeled Simile, Metaphor, Pun, Allusion, Oxymoron, and Hyperbole.
