The guide

Overview

Today in the game Boat Action we will go with you to the mountains. There is a world-famous race on inflatable boats and you will take part in it directly. On the screen you will see a river and your boat is located on it. Your task is gaining speed to swim across the water surface as far as possible. On your way there will be golden coins. You need to try to collect them as much as possible. For this you will be credited with gaming points. Also collect other items that can give you bonuses. On the track there will also be found stones and various traps, which you certainly need to avoid. If you get into them, your boat will explode and you lose the round.

What it's like to play

One button. Rising speed. No second chances. That is the arcade formula and it has not changed much in forty years because it does not need to. A session is a run of attempts where the first few are warm-ups and the later ones are tense. You stop noticing the music. You stop blinking. Then you clip an edge and it is over, and you tap Play again.

How to play

1Check the start screen for the control hint, then do one throwaway run to feel how your character moves and stops.
2Commit to each input. Hesitating halfway through a jump or dodge is what causes most early crashes.
3Keep your thumb or finger resting lightly on the control so you are never reaching for it.
4Set a target before each run, for example clearing the next obstacle type, and stop for the day when you hit it.

Why it's worth a go

Nothing to learn, nothing to install, and a run of Boat Action fits inside a single song. It is the kind of game that is good when you have five spare minutes and bad when you have five spare hours, because you will use all of them.
