Racing boats here is less about steering and more about timing. In Boat Race Deluxe you press the screen to freeze a moving arrow, and the moment you pick decides how your boat takes off.
The power of your launch is decided when you let go with the mouse or your finger, so the whole game hangs on two well-timed gestures. It lands somewhere between a racing game and a puzzle, which makes it quick to grasp but tricky to perfect. It plays smoothly on phones, tablets and computers.

Press and hold to freeze the arrow, then lift your finger to set the power. On a computer, the mouse works the same way.
It mixes both. The race is the goal, but timing and power control work like a small puzzle you have to solve each time.
