About the game
You run a waterpark from a first-person view. You sell tickets, run the food stands, repair rides that break down, clean up messes and pull swimmers out of the water. You also design your own slides and pools, and the park grows as you unlock new areas, themes and staff. Guests slip and fly through the air like rag dolls, which is a big part of the jokes.
Up to four of you share one park online, and you can bring in a park you already started. You split the jobs, so one person builds slides while others run the food stands or handle repairs. Voice chat fades with distance, so a megaphone or a walkie-talkie reaches a friend across the park.
You can also stop working for a while. Water cannons soak your friends, and floating hoops start a basketball match. It suits a group that wants an easy-going job sim with room for jokes.
