About this game

Cobra Triangle combines speedboat handling with changing mission goals. Some stages demand racing to the finish; others ask you to take mines to a disposal area or protect swimmers from capture. Monster fights and waterfall jumps introduce further tasks. Pods advance a highlighted upgrade, which you activate with SELECT. Options affect acceleration, speed, firepower or temporary protection. Steering turns relative to the boat, while acceleration and shooting use separate controls, so the vessel’s orientation matters when approaching a target.
