About Water Race
Water Race is a 3D relay runner about carrying water. Your runner wears a see-through backpack that fills up as you run into bottles of water, and every glowing orange patch you run over spills some. At the end of each stretch there is a glass station: arrive with at least five bottles and your water fills it, lifts the next runner up to the track and the relay carries on.
Three runners take turns per level, and the last one waters a huge flower at the finish. Steer for the bottles, dodge the orange patches and keep an eye on the water bar at the top of the screen; your runner trails a ribbon of water that sparkles once the backpack holds enough. After the ten hand-made relays every level lays new bottle routes, adds more heat patches and, from level 15, patches that slide across the track. The world changes every three levels, from Blue Lagoon and Sunset Bay to Jungle River, Moonlit Sea, Desert Oasis, Ice Caps, Stormy Sea and Neon Harbour.
Coins from each level unlock seven colours for your runners, from Aqua and Coral up to Gold and Deep Sea, and two upgrades: Full Start puts water in every runner's backpack before they set off, and Spill Guard stops the first orange patches from spilling any. If you reach a station short of water you can fill up and carry on once per level. Water Race works on phones, tablets and computers with no download.

How to play Water Race
- Tap Start. Your runner sets off along the track on its own.
- Drag left and right to steer into the water bottles and around the glowing orange patches.
- Reach each glass station with at least five bottles of water to pass the relay to the next runner.
- Bring the last runner to the giant flower to finish the level and collect your coins.
Controls
- Computer
- Hold the left mouse button and drag left or right to steer.
- Phone and tablet
- Touch the screen and slide your finger left or right to steer.
Tips
- Your runner turns rather than sliding sideways, so start steering towards a line of bottles early.
- Five is the minimum: collect a few extra so one unlucky orange patch does not cost you the station.
- Full Start is a good first upgrade because every runner in the relay gets the extra water.
- Grab bottles one after another to build a combo.
