Tide & Crown

Clean the waters. Claim your crown.

From the slums to the royal estuary — one haul at a time.

How to play

Sound unlocks on first click — menu: SFX on/off · Music on/off
Phone / touch — left stick steers (thumbs on edges so the boat stays visible) · right SCOOP · DOCK by the pier
Keyboard — WASD steer · Space scoop · E flamethrower · Q ultimate · R end at dock
Ads — short break every 3 safe docks (wrecks / fuel strandings don’t count). Paid remove-ads later for the app.
New captains start with 1000 coins — outfit Casting Net + Hull right away. Main Dock: Watch ad +500c for a sponsor boost (90s cooldown).
Mission — 10% of app proceeds support ocean & river cleanup (BambooTide).
Coins on the HUD — fuel & hull persist between runs (no free top-ups)
Captains — pick Roo, Zion, Jaikub, or Heidi-Jo at the start (change anytime on the dock)
Long Haul — day → dusk → night → storm; dock after 45s+ for haul pay
Storm — more hazards, harder steering, lightning clouds that strike if you linger under them
Wardrobe — equip hats, packs & tailwear found on long voyages (crown around nightfall ~2 min)
Leaderboard — Global board on BambooTide + this-device scores (set your pilot name in Leaderboard)
Out of fuel — expensive tow, battered hull, most haul lost (worse than a careful early dock)
Jay's Garage — repair, refuel & fill flamethrower · R end at a river dock
Shane — boat outfit to rank 20 (net, hull, tank, engine, flamethrower, cargo hold 200–600)
Casting Net 9–10 (after armored hull) pulls debris like a magnet · Flamethrower burns hazards (L20 = blue plasma)
Boss Slick drops legendary River Crown + Golden Backpack
Wrecked boat loses hull, engine, tanks & flamethrower — most haul sinks; a few backpack finds survive

The fantasy
