The camera is overhead. From memory, the 3D pan comes at the start of a race.

Is the camera always overhead? If so what is the 3D bit at the end of the trailer for, just flavour? Do you have to learn the courses to have any chance (since you can’t see far ahead and the map is tiny)?

You nudge the stick in the appropriate screen direction rather than boat direction (so if you’re heading down the screen and want to turn right, you push left because you want to move towards the left of the screen). That messes with my head a bit too much.

Other than that, it’s like a blander version of Glow Arcade Racer. Considering your dislike of the latter, I’m surprised you don’t hate this more.
