Narrowboat Simulator

Control Britain's typical narrowboats in 3D.

This application brings the simulation of narrow boats to your Android phone or tablet.

A tutorial will guide you through the essential aspects of controlling these boats on the canal.

Once you have mastered the basics, you will progress to the "Drifting Badger Marina," where various tasks await you.

To advance, you must collect Canal Karma by demonstrating your navigating skills.

Upon completing the tasks with a sufficiently high Canal Karma, you will unlock the "Cruise Free" mode and gain access to up to two additional narrowboats.

This application is free and does not contain any ads. (Subject to change in future releases.)

This app requires permission for the "INTERNET." This is necessary for an optional experimental function to use a second Android device on the same network as a VR/Touch-Controller.
