Rowing Regatta

Free

Single sculls on a lake regatta course: 500 metres against five other boats, a heat and then the final. Drive as the oars reach the catch, pick your stroke rate — faster is quicker but burns stamina — and steer against the breeze to keep off the lane buoys. Top three in the heat row for the medals.

Controls: Space or K to drive each stroke when the needle reaches the green catch zone. Up / Down to raise or lower the stroke rate. Left / Right to steer. On a phone: RATE + / RATE − and the steering arrows on the left; DRIVE on the right.

How to play Rowing Regatta

Rowing Regatta is single-scull racing over 500 metres against five other boats. You row a heat and, if you finish in the top three, the final for the medals.

Controls: Space or K to drive each stroke when the needle reaches the green catch zone. Up / Down to raise or lower the stroke rate. Left / Right to steer. On a phone: RATE + / RATE − and the steering arrows on the left; DRIVE on the right.

Tips

  • Press drive when the needle is in the green catch zone. The middle of the green gives the strongest stroke; pressing before the green catches a crab and costs you speed.
  • A rate of about 30 strokes a minute lasts most of the race. Raise it for the last stretch when you can see the finish.
  • Very high rates burn your stamina fast, and once it runs low every stroke gets weaker.
  • Watch the lane marker in the corner and steer back to the middle. Clipping the buoys slows the boat.
  • Check your place at each marker (every 125 metres) and decide when to push.
