## What is ボートレーススタートゲーム?

A racing game all about the most thrilling moment in boat racing — the start!

Cross the start line the instant the big race clock hits 0!
Control your speed with the throttle lever and find the perfect timing — not too early (Flying = F), not too late (Late = L).

--- Key Features ---

■ Realistic start experience
- Operate the throttle lever while watching the race clock count down
- Engine sound modeled on a real 2-stroke boat motor, plus race-day fanfare
- Haptic feedback that responds to your every move
- Six boats racing across the water with rich visuals
- Wind, formation, and weather can be random or hand-picked

■ Race Mode (choose your view)
- Pick any of six boats and race against CPU rivals
- "Classic" — a full overhead view of the whole course
- "Panorama" — zoom right in on your own boat and read the start from the distance signs alone
- CPU racers are ranked A1–B2; choose Easy, Normal, or SG Class difficulty

■ Daily Challenge (NEW!)
- Everyone races the same daily conditions in an ST contest
- One try per day — beat your best ST of the day
- Daily Game Center leaderboard support

■ Series (NEW!)
- Climb from 2 qualifiers to the semifinal and grand final
- Advance on finishing points and aim for the title — rivals get tougher as you go
- Suspend to save your progress, or go home to withdraw

■ Stats & Class — just like real boat racing (NEW!)
- Judged by win rate (points average) and accident rate, with a weekly B2–A1 review
- Flying starts count too — grind your way up to A1

■ Weather (Night / Rain) (NEW!)
- At night the big clock is hard to read; rain blurs your view — weather changes how tough the start is
- Floodlights, starry skies, and rain effects bring the racecourse to life

■ Start Practice & Ghost racing
- Drill your start timing (ST) over and over without a full race
- Replay your best run as a "ghost" and race your past self (NEW!)
- Aim for a "Just Start" under 0.10 seconds

■ Local Match (up to 6 players)
- Create or join rooms easily with a QR code
- Real-time start battles with friends nearby
- Smooth local-network play

■ Slit Photo & Replay
- The exact positions at 0s recreated as a real "slit photo"
- Slow-motion replay of the moments around the start
- Export your replay as a video to share on social media (NEW!)

■ Stats & Game Center
- Win rate, top-2/top-3 rate, average ST, best ST, accident rate, and per-lane records tracked automatically
- Compete on Game Center leaderboards for the best ST worldwide
- Earn achievements like "Just Start" and "5-Win Streak"

### 4/5 — 広告がもっと少なければ…

*2026-08-02*

2走に1回広告が入る。レース自体は20秒ほどで終わるので1分に1回広告が入る感覚。面白くてやり続けたいからこそ多いなと感じてしまう…
スタートは6秒前で250m手前、3秒前で150m手前を基準に最後全速で行ってます！

### 4/5 — ローカル対戦できない

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-11

The Series mode has been rebuilt to feel like a real race meeting. Snow joins the weather, and Race History arrives.

■ Series, completely rebuilt
- Five grades: General, G3, G2, G1 and SG. Your class decides which grades you can enter, and SG requires holding A1 for two consecutive terms.
- Meetings now field 24 racers. After the qualifiers, the top 12 move to two semifinals, and three from each go through to the grand final.
- Lane assignments now follow the points standings, so the leaders get the inside lanes.
- You can review the full entry list before the meeting starts, and the opening fanfare grows grander with the grade.

■ Snow added to the weather
- Time of day (day or night) and precipitation (none, rain or snow) now combine freely.
- Heavy snow washes the course out and makes the big clock much harder to read.

■ CPU starts now scatter by class
- A1 racers are consistent while B2 racers are wild, and each race is drawn fresh — so the same rivals never play out quite the same way.

■ Mode and stats cleanup
- Race mode and Start Practice now share one screen, so you can switch between them.
- Stats and class ranking are tracked separately for Series and normal races, and separately again for Classic and Panorama.
- The home screen is now a single set of mode cards.

■ Other improvements
- Added an instant retry from the result screen using the same conditions.
- Replays are now saved (your latest and your best) so you can review them later.
- Ghosts now work in normal races too, using your best run for that lane.
- Game Center achievements expanded from 4 to 12.
- Added an audio guide for the race clock and VoiceOver readout of the race situation.
- Fixed how a race ends and how placings are decided, based on the order boats reach the goal.

■ Race History added
- Your last 500 races are kept run by run, so you can review your ST trends and how you fare in each wind, weather and lane.
- Free, like everything else in the app.

Thanks for playing! Please reach out from our support page with any feedback.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-07-31

A round-up of fixes, mostly around start judging and stats.

■ Start judging
- Fixed the slit photo showing a valid start (exactly 0.00) as a flying start.

■ Consistent stats
- Average/best ST are now counted the same way across career stats, class ranking and the Daily Challenge. A start right on zero is correctly recorded as ST 0.00.
- Fixed series attempts not being counted when a series ended with a flying start.
- "Reset stats" now also clears your series totals and daily records.

■ Other fixes
- Fixed a rare "99th" placement on the local multiplayer result screen.
- Fixed flickering grandstand lights.
- Corrected the F-penalty description in Settings to match the actual class review rule.
- Fixed haptics firing while the result screen was shown.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-12

Lots of new modes and features!

■ Daily Challenge (NEW)
Everyone races the same daily conditions in an ST contest. One try per day—beat your best!

■ Series (NEW)
Climb from 2 qualifiers to the semifinal and grand final. You can suspend or withdraw anytime.

■ Real boat-racing stats & class
Judged by win rate (points average) and accident rate, with a weekly B2–A1 review. Flying starts count too.

■ Weather (Night / Rain)
At night the big clock is hard to read; rain blurs your view—weather changes how tough the start is.

■ More improvements
- Start Practice now has a "ghost" of your best run to race against
- Export your replay as a video to share on social media
- Redesigned home screen; pick Classic / Panorama view on the setup screen
- Tuned the flying-start window and various small fixes

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-02

■ New "Panorama Start" mode!
Experience an immersive, zoomed-in view focused on your own boat, just like being in a real race. Since you can't see every boat at once, judge your start from the distance signs (XXm to START) for an extra thrill.

■ Improved CPU starts
CPU racers now make the most of their run-up momentum, keeping their speed right after the start for more heated, thrilling battles.

■ Other minor display tweaks and stability improvements.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-06-20
