There aren’t enough aquatic racing games these days. With Wave Race and Kelly Slater Pro Surfer both sleeping with the fishes, those with the need for speed have unfortunately been landlocked. But with Pixel Boat Rush players can race on the high seas once more, and even if all of its systems don’t succeed, they still create a distinct and entertaining combination.
Those basics will get players through the first few races, but to really go for the gold in Pixel Boat Rush's fair amount of events players will also need to go on the offensive. Certain levels give players access to their boat’s guns. By holding the fire button, they can mow down competitors in front of them. Of course this also means they're vulnerable to shots from behind, and this is one area where the game stumbles a little bit.
But even if Pixel Boat Rush doesn’t completely coalesce, it’s still a unique racing game with weirdness that just makes it even more wonderful. Check it out before it’s lost at sea.
