In the brand new iOS game Row Row, you have to pull out all the stops to stay afloat. This is why the game is worth playing.
Rowing on wild waters in Row Row
Game developer Part Time Monkey has placed a new gem in the App Store. Row Row sees you row your way to the finish line while avoiding rapids, eddies, sharks, hippos and other obstacles.
Are you stuck against a rock or on the side? Then you better start the level again, because the goal is to complete the course as quickly as possible. You do this by simply tapping left and right to row and steer. The faster you are, the more stars you earn to play the levels in the next world. A simple but delightful game, for these three reasons.
1. Varied, Thoughtful Levels
Row Row is not a big game. In fact, the game only contains 20 different levels, which take place in four different settings. But the levels that are there are very nice.
Moreover, they are never as easy as they look. Before you know it you’ll ram a hippo just before the finish or get stuck between two ice blocks full of penguins. In each level you will find an extensive course with beautiful details, making it almost feel like you are playing Mario Kart on the water as a loner.
2. Play with friends
Row Row is a fun challenge on its own, but the developers have made it even more fun by allowing you to play with friends. Make sure your friends have downloaded the app too, and add each other via usernames.
Then you can go up the wild river together and try to complete the level as best as possible. Or, of course, see who is the fastest while you have to trump each other to be the first to grab a coin at the bottom of the waterfall.
Also nice is the possibility to watch the race back, so that you can learn from each other’s actions and tricks. You can also easily share these images via social media, so that you can show other fellow players the race.
3. Row with rubber ducks, bananas and air mattresses
The aim of Row Row is to row across the finish line as fast as possible, but don’t forget to score the coins that can be picked up here and there. By collecting coins you can unlock all kinds of new kayaks, including an inflatable banana, raft, air mattress and a giant rubber duck.
By collecting more and more different kayaks, you also have a suitable ‘boat’ for every level. In a level with many obstacles, a small inflatable tire is more useful than a bulky tree trunk.
