ABOUT THE GAME

On a radio-controlled boat,
To 6 water courses.

"RC Sploosh Racer" is a top-down radio-controlled boat racing game by Magso. Race through rivers and waterways using a combination of forward moves, turns, and jumps, unlocking your boat and the next challenge with each victory.

01

Run along the waterway by moving forward, turning, and jumping.

Use the up arrow key to move forward and the left and right arrow keys to change the boat's direction. You can jump by pressing the Space key, and your speed will decrease if you hit a bank or obstacle, so you need to make turns that match the width of the river.

02

Change the way you ride with 3 modes

In the Flag Race, you compete against 5 rival boats for 3 laps, and in the Ghost Race, you chase your Ghost goal and your personal best. In the Tournament, all the courses will be run in order and the six boats will compete for the total points.

03

Unlock 6 locations and up to 26 boats

Travel through 6 different locations and unlock new boats and challenges depending on your victories. A maximum of 26 boats can be released, and the difficulty level increases as the progress rate increases.
