Sonova Boat Open Beta Download (1,510 KB)
Sonova Boat is an adventure game of crazy intensity that takes place throughout a vast 224 pixel ocean literally swarming with odd forms of life. This requires you, the captain, to use all of your mad driving skills to outmaneuver the hungry antagonists. Feedback goes in the forum.

The Setup
Sonova Boat is minding his own business on the title screen like a good motorboat should, but is suddenly swept into a hostile universe swarming with pink donuts, purple amoebas, septopi, penguins, shortsnakes, evil twins, and, worst of all, salted pretzels. As the captain, you now have to dodge your enemies, or suffer a terrible fate. Luckily, you have uber-cool Tron wake, impermeable by your foes, and you'll get to take Sonova Boat off of lots of sweet jumps.
Modes o' Play
- Free
- Cruise the pools and beaches of Sonova and try not to get stuck in a swarm. Or try to; I don't really care.
- Auto-Shoot
- Engage in projectile instagib combat with the Sonovians. That means one shot is lethal. Since you don't have to worry about aiming, you need to focus on getting within range and dodging the gray spinning balls of death. Try hiding behind walls. Please don't let your boat die. That would be so sad.
- Manual-Shoot a.k.a. Co-op
- Now you have to aim and steer. Good luck with that. Tried and failed? Find a friend. You have been supplied with ten hit points to aid you in the misadventures of this mode.
- Pretzel Hunter
- Collect all of the pretzels, avoiding the other monsters. Pretzels are worth 50 points and colliding with another monster deducts a point. Aim for over 1000 points.
- Timed
- Up until now, you have had the option to take your time. This luxury is gone and you will have to dispose of your enemies quickly or become their dinner.
