The gameplay mixes a one-touch racing mechanic with 2 weapon/defensive buttons. The progression features an in-depth career mode with RPG-like humoristic conversations with parodic characters, an endless mode and a boat crafting editor!

----------------------

One-Touch Racing Mechanic:

Touch to accelerate, release to brake. Slow down on a wave to stick to it (bind speed requirement depends on the boat downforce, sometimes you have to slow down more). If you keep the gas pressed, you'll jump off the waves. You can stick to water before the wave begins, but if you re-accelerate on a straight line, you'll un-stick.

Releasing the gas while in the air will make you fall faster.

Obstacles and Power-Ups:

If air drag makes you quicker by staying on water, sometimes it's best to jump. It could be for grabbing a power-up, avoiding an obstacle or a tricky set of waves.

Combat:

Fighting with opponent brings a whole new dimension to the game. It not only adds action, but also tactical aspects, which quickly becomes a key for victory. For instance, slowing down to get behind an opponent to avoid being hit and let him deplete his bullet on another boat.

Additional Tip:

- The acceleration button covers the whole right side. You can touch the bottom edge of the screen to avoid covering the action.

Look no farther, this is a great racing game! Fun and unique controls that work great once you get use to them. Upgradable boats, lots of races, and a fun and challenging experience.

Excellent Pixel Racer!

Got to credit the company for this wonderful little game. Since hearing of this game via DoomFan on Twitter the screenshots and response from the devs really kept my interest up till the release date. What I like first off is that this game runs smooth on my iPod 4 with no issues given that a majority of the games these days support iOS 7 and up. Another thing I want to applaud the devs for is including Cloud Support so I can transfer my saves to my iPad and vice versa to my iPod 4. The gameplay is easy to catch on yet the races can get challenging as you level up. In a nutshell if you like 2D pixel racers that gets the job done, then look no further than PBR! Thanks Xperimental for this awesome lil game and hope nothing but good things for you all for this cool lil racer ;)
