One-Button Racing Mechanic:

Press the right arrow to accelerate, release to brake. If you release the gaz on a wave, youll stick to it. If you keep the gaz pressed, youll jump off the waves. Releasing the gaz while in the air will make you fall faster.

Obstacles and Power-Ups:

If air drag makes staying on water quicker, 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.
