Reviews
- The game is very fun and entertaining, with charming visuals and humorous sound effects.
- It offers a challenging experience that encourages players to analyze their gameplay and improve their skills.
- The unique mechanics of the game, such as the anti-racing concept and the satisfaction of mastering boat controls, provide a refreshing twist on traditional racing games.
- The physics and ship controls are frustrating, lacking a realistic feel of water resistance and making maneuvering difficult.
- The fixed-angle bird-eye-view camera can confuse players, making it hard to judge turns and navigate effectively.
- The game can be overly challenging, with time-limited levels that leave little room for error, leading to frustration rather than fun.

The graphics are described as charming and bright, reminiscent of a "Crossy Road" style, which enhances the fun and replayability of the game. Even players with lower-end integrated graphics find the visuals enjoyable, contributing to an overall positive experience that keeps the gameplay engaging.
“With charming visuals and humor, and very fun gameplay.”
“The visuals (crossy road-style bright and cheery) never make repeating a course feel like a chore, and with the possibility of several boat upgrades, the whole experience has a depth and replayability well beyond what could have been a quick one-joke game.”
“Really fun and hard to get mad at for too long since the graphics and music/sounds are pretty fun.”
“Unlike gaming PCs that come with top-notch dedicated graphic cards, mine only relies on Intel integrated graphics.”

The humor in the game is intended to be lighthearted and meme-inspired, but many players find the difficulty level frustrating, detracting from the fun and leading to more cursing than laughter. While it aims to be amusing, its challenging nature makes it less suitable for a family-friendly experience.

“Funny, not easy, suitable for all in your family; nice games.”
