Grab the oars and row your little boat down a lively river. Rowboats is a simple, satisfying arcade game you can pick up in seconds. Swipe down on the left side of the screen to pull the left oar and on the right side to pull the right oar. Pull both together to glide straight ahead, or alternate to weave between obstacles. DODGE THE RIVER Rocks, drifting logs and floating barrels stand between you and a high score. The river speeds up the further you go, so stay sharp. CATCH STARS Scoop up golden stars with your boat or your oars. Every star you catch is worth more than the last, up to 1,000 points, but let one drift past and its value drops. ONE MORE RUN Runs are quick and restarts are instant. Your best score is saved, so there is always a new record to chase.
