RowBot Rally
A downloadable game
Coming to Playdate Catalog Late 2024.
Team up with a mechanical pal and row for the gold in the annual Fish Bowl!
So you wanna enter the Fish Bowl — the biggest boat-racing event of the year. But! Evil RowBots have taken over the entire circuit, and the competition’s only getting worse. It's up to one bunny, and their scrap RowBot pal, to renew the sport's former glory.
You gotta Use the Crank™, tandem-row with a junkyard left-turnin' RowBot of your own, and put a stop to Robo-X, the evil-bot-making corpo-conglomerate. Can you win back the spirit of the Fish Bowl and, perhaps more importantly, that big golden trophy?
With a lengthy story mode, hand-animated cutscenes, on-line leaderboards, and more; RowBot Rally is the definitive top-down boat-racing game for Playdate! (Trust me, it's a competitive field.)

I just finished the demo, this game is fantastic. You've completely made a new way to control a racing game and I'm hooked. Can't wait to play the full game whenever it's done. Difficulty curve on the first race is perfect, I struggled for a while but once getting the controls down, it's a blissful experience.
The demo looks great and is super fun! I really struggled the first 2 times I tried racing, because the control scheme is so original and unlike any racing game I've played previously. By the third attempt, I got the hang of it/stopped ramming the wall repeatedly, and RowBot Rally quickly became the playdate release I'm looking forward to the most!
Happy to hear you got the hang of it! If you're keen on using the "feedback" link on this page, I'd love to hear any thoughts you have on the gameplay as a whole — tweaking it to make it easier for the final release is something I really wanna nail down.
Super charming. c:
Good luck! :D
