        • Finish one level to unlock the next.
      • There are 10 levels in this game.
        • Each course has a unique layout.
        • You have to finish between 2 to 5 laps on each course.
        • You can replay any of the levels you’ve unlocked.
    • Tips
      • As much as possible try to avoid contact with other boats.
        • If one boat bumps you that can slow you down, then have the next boat come up and bump you, and the process can repeat until you are in last place.
        • When you make contact other boats try to do so on the inside line of a turn so their efforts to hit you only propel you forward.
      • Many tracks have multiple branch options where you can go left or right.
        • When you are early in the course if you are far back in the pack it usually makes sense to take the path with fewer boats on it.
        • When you are further into the race and are in first or second place it makes sense to take whichever path is shorter & faster.
      • Other speed tips
        • Drafting
          • In some racing games there is a drafting concept where it can make sense to race directly behind a competitor to build up speed.
          • In this game there isn’t much in the way of drafting, so it is better to be at least slightly off center a competitor so that you are less likely to make hard contact.
        • Minimize your exposure with the walls.
          • Take the tightest possible corner lines you can without making much wall contact.
          • You turn rather sharply, so you can be close to the inside corner and still make quite sharp turns without hitting the outer walls.
        • Speed boost
          • The speed booster is valuable when you are not near many enemies, are in front of competing racers, or are on a wide part of the course.
          • If the course is narrow and other opponents are directly in front of you it may not make sense to pick up the speed boost.
          • Only your boat can pick up the speed boost pellets.
  • Target Audience
    • The game is suited for players who like simple boat racing games.
    • The game has no adult themed content.
