PLAYING GUIDE
Protect the three hull shields
Reach the finish inside 90 seconds with at least one shield left. Rocks remove a shield and reset your buoy streak. A bank or awkward recovery can also cost speed. Early in a run, choose open water even when it means passing up a buoy.
Correct the current in small amounts
The current moves the boat sideways. Make a correction, watch its effect, and then adjust again. Holding a large correction can carry the boat past the safe channel. Read the next rock and the next buoy together before choosing your line.
Build a streak without forcing it
A buoy extends the scoring streak, but a rock breaks it. Do not turn across a rock merely to collect the next buoy. Boost raises speed and reduces the time available to react, so spend it only when the next section of water is clear.
Use two different practice runs
First try a finish with no rock collisions. Then keep the same safe route while collecting extra buoys that lie close to it. This separates survival from score chasing. Restart makes a new attempt; saved results stay on the current device.
