About

Aquaplane

Features
Read full description

Aquaplane offers a side-scrolling action gaming experience, taking inspiration from water skiing. As players take command of a speedboat, the real challenge unfolds with a waterskier being towed behind. Steering the speedboat through hazards while adjusting speed becomes an intricate task, as the waterskier moves in tandem but with subtle variations in direction. This nuanced movement adds a layer of difficulty, making even smaller gaps a perilous challenge to navigate. The initial round begins with a simple setup featuring rocks and a handful of logs to familiarize participants with the terrain. Subsequent rounds will escalate in complexity, introducing additional obstacles such as more logs, squids, ships, and so forth.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Aquaplane at Free against Scarecase's $1.99. Aquaplane also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 10 months). Scarecase's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On device support there is nothing between them.
