this game is awesome. well balanced, with multiple types of gameplay, hilarious jokes and character names. I can play it for hours. Also The in apps are tottaly uncalled for. IT is a SHAME this game is not gaining the attention it deserves. People are way too visual nowadays. All in all its a true gem.

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, youll jump off the waves. You can stick to water before the wave begins, but if you re-accelerate on a straight line, youll 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 its 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.

Awesome
Céloko
Jogo muito bom! Lembra Rock and Roll Racing do tempo dos 16bits.
Additive and incredibly well-done
I love this game! The music, the story, the complexity of the game...it fully worth 2$.
Amazing
Needed a game for a long bus ride and stumbled along this gem. Spent hours on it and loved the unique customization! Keep the updates coming! (Ive already golded everything)
Nice simple game - really room to evolve
These s room to evolve and its fun all the boat and their guns :) Thanks Little bug : Cant swap gun/gas button though ! :)
Original gem
The game itself is surprisingly original, featuring a boat editor where you earn pixels in game to create your own boats with, each pixel color and rarity having a different effect on your boat. The game is quite underrated and makes me sad to see the lack of support for this game of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. Hope the debs release some more updates, I would hate to see a game like this die. If anyone is looking for a game with guns, explosives, boats, and pixelation this is the game for you. If none of this things are attractive to you, Im sorry to say but your life is a sad one.
Love it!
I cant put it down! The physics are amazing and I love the old-school feel to it.
