What's new

Physics Update

2022-08-11

This update addresses the bug where stationary boats would often get swamped in rough seas a little too easily. It only really effected the smaller boats and you should find that they are now suitably buoyant! I've also tweaked some other physics settings such as rudder forces etc for many of the boats so they should handle more realistically at lower speeds. As always, the physics engine is a work in progress so let me know if you spot boats doing anything odd!

In no way is this worth £15, More like £3.99. Its cool for about 10 minutes. Only 3 boats and a pretty limited map. The water never really gets frantic, the marine life is a joke as they don't react to anything, racing is tedious and the delivery mode is a fast add on to give you reason not to get bored, but it does not save it. Its mega boring and very overpriced. Avoid until a realistic price tag as mentioned above

Great game. Good graphics, gameplay, boat selection, etc. However when playing in VR mode for some reason, there are many performance issues. If these could be fixed then this game will be a regular thing that I play. Overall great game and idea.
