Suma na basi?
Suriname river runner
Pari, pari! Switch lanes, dodge the river and ride the sula. The water keeps getting faster, so how far can you paddle before it wins?
Suma na basi?
The korjaal is how Suriname's interior moves: a dugout canoe cut from one tree, loaded with people, rice bags and outboard fuel, threading rapids that have their own names and their own moods. Anyone who has taken the boat from Atjoni up the Boven-Suriname knows the feeling this game chases: the boatman reading the water, the sula roaring up ahead, everybody holding their bags a little tighter.
Your job is simpler than the boatman's: pick a lane and survive. Logs, rocks and sandbanks come at you three lanes wide, the river only gets faster, and a good run is all about reading two rows ahead. Grab manja to keep your multiplier hot, and hit a glowing sula boost to blast through anything in your way.
Chase your own best score, then send it to the family group and watch them try to beat it. Done paddling? Try Aboma, Muskieto Survivor, Pe A De?, the Sabi Suriname quiz or the Switi Mini crossword.
A korjaal is the dugout canoe of Suriname's rivers, carved from a single tree trunk. On the upper rivers it is still how people, goods and tourists move between villages, powered by paddle or outboard.
Swipe or tap the left and right side of the river to switch lanes (arrow keys or A and D also work). Dodge the logs, rocks and sandbanks, scoop up manja to build your multiplier, and grab a glowing sula boost to smash straight through everything for a few seconds. The further you paddle, the faster the river runs.
Your score climbs the further you get and the more manja you collect. Every manja bumps your multiplier, so a hot streak is worth far more than distance alone. Miss too long and the multiplier cools back down. Your best score is saved in your browser, so there is always a number to beat.
Yes. Korjaal Run is free, needs no app or account, and your best runs are stored only in your browser.
