Tidal Rush: Paradise GP

A little salt. A lot of speed. Race eight rivals around a tropical island, right in your browser.

---

Tidal Rush is the kart racer from OpenAI's GPT‑6 Astra announcement, made by Pietro Schirano. On that page it plays in a small window surrounded by article text. This repo gives it a page of its own: the game fills the whole screen, with no navigation bar, article or scrolling.

🏁 Play

→ hammadshakeelai.github.io/tidal-rush

Click START YOUR ENGINES, wait for the countdown, then floor it.

Key	Action
W A S D	Drive and steer
Space	Drift through corners
E	Use your item

On touchscreens, on‑screen controls (steer, drift, item, go) appear once the race starts.

📸 Screenshots

🔧 How it works

The whole site is one file, index.html. It shows the live game in a full‑screen <iframe>:

• No website clutter. You get only the game, with a short loading screen while it starts.
• Keyboard just works. Keyboard focus goes back to the game automatically, so W and Space reach the kart and never scroll the page.
• Always the latest version. The iframe loads the game from its original host (tidal-rush-paradise-gp.skirano.chatgpt.site), so any updates to the game show up here.

Note

This repo contains no game code. It only embeds the version hosted on ChatGPT Sites. If the original host goes offline, the page here stops working too.

Run it locally

No build step is needed. Open index.html in a browser, or serve the folder:

npx serve .
