Aquaplane

My 2014 Android remake of John Hollis's 1983 ZX Spectrum classic. Tow your water skier behind your speedboat and steer them both through logs, crocodiles, yachts, steamers and hungry sharks. Hit anything with either the boat or the skier and it's all over.

Here's the trick: steer while you gun the engines and your skier swings out wide on the tow rope. Use it to thread the gaps.

Two ways to play

• Classic: the sea is split into Phases. You have 3 lives, and you get a bonus of 100 points for every life left when you finish a Phase. There's an extra life every 10,000 points.
• Survival: one life and no breaks. Every obstacle you pass scores more than in Classic.

Each mode has its own top 10 high score table, saved on your device.
