Boatrocker: Storm Survival

Tilt your phone to keep a little lobster boat from capsizing as the sea builds from a calm dawn to a black night gale. Lean into each wave, catch her at the very edge, and feel her slam back level. Boatrocker is a boat game you steer with your whole hand. Lean the phone left or right to shift her weight. Lean too late and she heels past 55 degrees: time slows, the hull creaks, the screen edge glows red. Lean back in time and you make the save. Make it at the knife edge and the reward is bigger. READ THE SEA Watch the swell sets roll in from the horizon and lean early. Rogue waves, gusts and breaking crests grow as the storm builds. Steer around drifting logs and lost containers. WORK THE STORM Haul your strings of lobster buoys, grab floating crates and sea chests, and throw a line to anyone who goes over the rail. When the Coast Guard calls a mayday on channel 16, answer it. FIT OUT YOUR BOAT Spend the brass you earn at the Gull Rock Boatyard: a deeper keel, ballast, a stronger hull, a radar, a searchlight, a barometer. Skipper three boats: the Kittiwake, the steel trawler Grey Wall and the quick Little Gull. Paint her your way with sea glass, and fly your own flag. THE LIGHTHOUSE MYSTERY Twenty logbook pages are drifting in bottles. Fish them out and piece together what happened to the keeper of Gull Rock Light. FEATS AND CHARTERS Three charters on the board at a time, a fresh one each time you finish one, and ten hard feats, each unlocking a paint, flag or horn you can't buy. A run lasts a few minutes, so it fits a coffee break. Touch controls are there if you'd rather not tilt, and tilt sensitivity is yours to set. Plays offline. Set on the coast of Maine in 1976, with a seventies soundtrack on the boat radio. Free to play. One small banner ad, no in-app purchases.
