Damn, this was worth the wait! Loving this. Tons of content, great music and graphics and a cool storyline too I can tell you guys at Xperimentalz poured yourselves into this game, it shines. Very happy customer here. Richard
Woot! Glad to see yall getting into this game..it has been made with so much love and attention to detail...can say make sure you use your tools to upgrade your boats..it will help when you get stuck. Thanks so much for playing..really think you will like this one..the Devs are super responsive and if you have any questions just jot em down...I was just an occasional tester but I grew to love this game..hope you do too. Thanks again and enjoy it! A year plus of work is inside it.# Only reason I gave it 4 stars is I would love to see multiplayer..it would take a total rework of the code says devs..if it becomes popular it could happen..just imagine racing your buds in real,life..ha..so cool..push for it#
Wow. I am really impressed with this game. I saw high praise from pete and others so I dove in. Pretty stoked I did. It seems to mix elements from moto cross games which works perfectly with it being a racing game in water. Along with the upgrades and wonderfully retro graphics/music, it's definitely an easy recommendation. The licenses needed to enter different tracks is certainly a nice touch. Good job dev!
Yayy thanks for the awesome comments! Super happy every time I hear that someone is having fun with the game. And from class A, it only gets better in my opinion! It's where everything comes together.
Wow this looks and sounds awesome in action, the controls are getting a bit used to as I'm so used to pressing to descend (like tiny wings style) but I'm sure with a bit of practice they'll stick. Just got all gold on the first license and finished my first few races. Loving it and appreciate the hard work guys.
Glad you enjoy it so far! About one year ago, we tried reversing the control, with touch to brake and auto-accelerate. That would have put 'diving' on press. That did not work, I'm really unsure why. This makes me think that we don't have controls schemes. Something to look into should that becomes necessary.
It's fine after a while it just took a little getting used to. Really can't express how much I'm loving this game tho, giving me a total nostalgia feeling and for some reason it reminds me of playing f zero on the Snes. Everything's spot on from the graphics to the sound and even the menus. Very cool game and for £1.49 a bargain. (Love the fact it's got cloud saves so I can play on my phone and ipad without losing progress)
This video helps me understand a comment from James in his App Spy's hands on. He was wondering why he had had to cover the front view with his finger. The button visual might be in the way, but the touch zone extends all the way down to the bottom (and to the top) so it's not necessary to cover the view.
Pixel Boat Rush is very fleshed out from the get go. The core game mechanics are easy to learn and fun, yet the course variety, different boat stats and wily enemies make for strategic and challenging races. There are a ton of race modes/races, boats upgrades, power-ups etc. XperimentalZ has created a fully-featured game with their initial release. The game, just based on the sheer amount of content, could easily have sold for four to five bucks. Add in the fact that the graphics, music and extras indeed round out the game in such a satisfying way and what you have here folks is a DO NOT MISS THIS GAME kind of game all-in-all, I am so very satisfied with my purchase, I wish there was an "indie Supporter" iap so I could hook these devs up with what I feel is their fair earnings for my copy of the game. Great job guys, I see myself playing this daily for some time to come. Did I mention this game is awesome...? There is cloud saving and it's great that the devs took the time to add this feature to their initial release, as a lot of games are rushed out to iTunes without these. Richard Btw, this is my AppStore review^^^ along with five big solid orange stars.
I echo all the other glowing reviews here. This game is soo damn good! I can't urge you more to go buy! I was a little unsure looking at the screen shots and videos (looked a little cheap to me!) Can I just express that no screens or videos can do justice to how awesome it feels to play this game! The release to break mechanic that glues to waves is the greatest thing ever!!!!! All I can say is, I bought the banner saga yesterday and since getting pixel boat I haven't played it since!!! This game is epic! Well done devs
After the fantastic Platforms Unlimited this dev deserves every $ from me for every game they release in the future. I'm getting this one when I'm home from work, it looks great.
Excellent game! I was part of the beta testing team and really enjoyed it, I just bought it to support the Dev as he really did a great job and listened to his team to make it better, great job!
Echoing the above excellent comments - I bought purely on this thread and after only the first race gritting my teeth trying to get 1st places over those waves was just amazing to play. Can't wait to progress and upgrade now!
You summed up my feelings quite perfectly there, Sink. Looking forward to getting into this one later.
