07 — Toot
Full steam ahead, straight through the traffic.
Toot is an endless mobile boat game built in Unity. Steer a small boat across an endless, rolling ocean: dodge cargo ships and islands, collect coins and oil, and score extra points with close calls.

The game
Easy to steer, hard to survive.
Steer left or right with one thumb. Around you, ships move like real traffic, each in its own lane. The longer you sail, the faster and busier it gets. Slip past a ship to build a combo; get too greedy and you'll crash.
Keep an eye on your oil, too. It slowly runs out, so you need to pick up fresh barrels along the way. Choose your boat in the harbour: each has its own speed and handling, and completing runs unlocks new boats.
Power-ups
Six ways to stay afloat a little longer.
Shield
A protective bubble around your boat for ten seconds.
Magnet
Pulls nearby coins towards your boat.
Repel
Nearby ships move out of your way.
Double coins
Coins count double for a while.
Oil
Refills your tank. Run out of oil and your boat stops.
Energy
Fifteen seconds of sailing without using oil.
The process
An ocean that feels alive.
Most of the time went into the world itself. An endless game only stays fun when the water, weather and traffic keep feeling a little different.
Real waves
Boats move with the water
The ocean is made of Gerstner waves. Each boat reads the height and slope of the water beneath it and moves with the surface, putting every ship and your boat on the same sea.
Weather, day and night
An ever-changing sea
The environment changes as you sail: new island biomes, shifting weather with wind and waves, and a day-to-night transition that turns on your boat's lights. A curved world drops the horizon away for that classic endless-runner feel.
Traffic with a plan
Ships as agents
Each ship is a small agent that follows its lane and avoids others. A traffic manager keeps things fair: busy enough for tension, but always with a gap to slip through.
The interface
Wood, rope and a seagull.
The UI has a cheerful nautical style: wooden signs with rope and lifebuoys, and a seagull as the mascot. The dashboard at the bottom is your boat's wheelhouse, with a compass, oil gauge, speedometer in knots and a ship's horn. That's where the name comes from.
The pause menu takes you straight to your awards, the shop or a new run.
Awards
Rewarding skilful play.
Alongside your high score, you earn awards. Some reward persistence: sailing 100 to 1,000 nautical miles, or playing for half an hour or two hours in total. Others reward seamanship: 5,000 metres without a collision, squeezing between two obstacles, sailing straight for a minute, or making a sharp turn to port or starboard.
