Three boats. Nineteen hundred miles. A coast that wants to eat you.

A claymation-style, turn-based tugboat battler. Lead your crew from Galveston to Maine through a sea full of things that should have stayed below.

READ THE THREAT. KEEP THEM AFLOAT.

Every enemy signals its next move. Brace for the hit, interrupt it, or move out of reach. Choose your route north, make port, and build up your boats with levels, scars, and boss relics. Even a lost crossing can earn lasting upgrades for the next run.
