Description
Pixel Boat Rush is a frantic boat combat racing game! An easy to learn, hard to master, fun arcade racing game with loads of content! Featured by Apple countless times!
The gameplay mixes a one-touch racing mechanic with 2 weapon/defensive buttons. The progression features an in-depth career mode with RPG-like humoristic conversations with parodic characters, an endless mode and a boat crafting editor!
----------------------
One-Touch Racing Mechanic:
Touch to accelerate, release to brake. Slow down on a wave to stick to it (bind speed requirement depends on the boat downforce, sometimes you have to slow down more). If you keep the gas pressed, you'll jump off the waves. You can stick to water before the wave begins, but if you re-accelerate on a straight line, you'll un-stick.
Releasing the gas while in the air will make you fall faster.
Obstacles and Power-Ups:
If air drag makes you quicker by staying on water, sometimes it's best to jump. It could be for grabbing a power-up, avoiding an obstacle or a tricky set of waves.
Combat:
Fighting with opponent brings a whole new dimension to the game. It not only adds action, but also tactical aspects, which quickly becomes a key for victory. For instance, slowing down to get behind an opponent to avoid being hit and let him deplete his bullet on another boat.
Additional Tip:
- The acceleration button covers the whole right side. You can touch the bottom edge of the screen to avoid covering the action.

Ratings and Reviews
Feels like I just need a better boat.
The first few levels were fine, although the controls were kind of weird. Tutorials felt kinda forced and didn’t feel like they taught much. But the big problem I have is, I don’t feel like my actual input matters as much as the stats on my boat. Once I got to the first set of master cups, I was consistently out of the top three despite doing well in all the previous races. I also don’t like the guns very much; if someone is shooting you, you either have to allow them to get ahead of you so you can shoot them, or let them destroy your boat. Either way, you get set back - and neither of those options guarantees the same thing won’t happen with the person behind THEM.
The game also made my thumb hurt after not long, but I’m sure flipping the controls would fix that.
Amazing game
Absolutely love this game but just some minor things need fixed, such as the “swap brake/gas” not working on some levels and the ability to zoom out further when making your own boat. Other than that it’s a fantastic game
Hooked
Oh, boy... only 15 minutes, and I can already tell this one’s going to be addictive.
