THE WATER

Developed with Unreal Engine®, and the Epic Games Water Plugin, Fluid Ninja Live, and custom-tailored by our development team, Tunnel Boat Terror plans to be an immersive aquatic experience. Dynamic environments where players can race including; the ocean, vast lakes, man made courses, shallow rivers, castle moats and many other unique locations. Boats, buoys, and debris all interact with the water surface using realistic buoyancy and physics.

Combine that with randomized wind and split second decision making, players will have to hone their skills to post worthy leaderboard scores for each of the maps wave instances.
