About Boat Race
Boat Race is inspired by the traditional boat races on the rivers of Bengal. Rowers must keep a steady rhythm, alternating left and right strokes. Tap in rhythm to push your boat forward and cross the finish line before the rival does.
How to play
- Tap Left and Right alternately to row.
- Tapping the same side twice breaks your rhythm and slows the boat.
- Cross the finish line before the rival boat.
Tips and strategy
- Find a steady beat and keep it.
- Use two thumbs on a phone, one for each side.
- The left and right arrow keys also work on a computer.
Levels, stars and XP
Finish a level to earn one to three stars and XP towards your player level. Replay any unlocked level to improve your stars. From level 151 the game enters endless mode, where each level is a remix of an earlier one with fresh colours and a slightly higher difficulty.
