About the game
Drum Boat is a rhythm race on a sunny river. Your dragon boat carries four rowers, a steerer and a panda on the drum, and two rival crews line up beside you. Each drum beat slides along the track toward the big drum; tap as it lands and the whole crew pulls together.
The twist is that rhythm is speed. On-beat strokes keep the crew in sync, and a crew in sync pulls harder with every stroke. Tap early, late or twice and the paddles knock together, the boat stalls and the sync starts over. Twenty races add a sprint tempo near the finish, silent rest beats you must skip and drummers who change the tempo halfway. Win to clear a race, keep clashes low for a second star and land mostly perfect strokes for the third.
