Bumper Boats
Pilot an inflatable bumper boat around a tropical lagoon, ram rival skippers, dodge mines and whirlpools, and rack up the most points in a three-minute round.
Bumper Boats is a bright, splashy .io arena game set in a sandy tropical lagoon. You drive a chunky inflatable boat with a rubber nose, and so do up to twenty-one computer skippers. Hit a rival nose-first and they take the damage, while a sideways bump barely scratches. Sink a boat to score a knockout, heal a little and leave behind a repair kit for whoever gets there first. Every boat drifts, slides and bounces off palm islands, so steering and timing matter as much as speed.
Each round lasts three minutes. Sea mines blow nearby boats across the water and hurt everyone in range, whirlpools drag careless drivers into their damaging center, and floating stars give bonus points plus a full boost. The rivals leave you alone for the first few seconds, then hunt weakened boats, lead their targets and fire their own boost rams. A live top-ten leaderboard tracks the race for first place, and sinking costs you points before you respawn. Your final score raises a saved captain rank from Deckhand to Admiral, and higher ranks bring more rivals and sharper skippers.
This boat bumping game is perfect for quick, chaotic sessions. Tip: save your boost for a straight shot at a damaged boat, and steer clear of other boats near mines.
How to play
Steer your bumper boat and ram rivals nose-first to damage them; sink a boat for 100 points. Use boost for a powerful ram, then wait for it to recharge. Avoid mines and whirlpools, grab repair kits to heal and stars for points and a boost. Sinking costs 25 points and you respawn after a few seconds. Have the most points when the three-minute timer ends; finishing first adds a 200-point bonus.
