Game Guide

In Man Overboard!, your primary goal is to rescue as many passengers as possible who have fallen overboard from the cruise ship. To start, familiarize yourself with the controls. Use the joystick to move your rescue boat in all four directions: up, down, left, and right. When you spot a passenger in the water, quickly steer your boat towards them. Once you are close enough, the passenger will automatically board your boat. Be aware of the waves. The waves can push your boat off - course, so you need to adjust your direction constantly. As the game progresses, the waves will get stronger, making it more difficult to navigate. Another important aspect is to avoid obstacles. There are other boats and floating debris in the water. Colliding with these obstacles can slow you down or even cause you to lose passengers. Keep an eye on the cruise ship. Passengers fall off at random, so you need to be vigilant. Try to position your boat in a way that allows you to quickly reach the passengers as soon as they fall. As the game gets more difficult, you may encounter multiple passengers falling at the same time. In such cases, prioritize the passengers closest to your boat. Also, pay attention to the time limit. Each level has a set time, and you need to rescue as many passengers as you can within that time. If you run out of time, the game ends. To improve your score, try to rescue passengers in quick succession. The game rewards you for rescuing multiple passengers without any breaks.
