The core loop
Step
Start in the shop and pick your blocks, then arrange them into a boat. When you're happy with it, launch and your boat begins sailing on its own through a procedurally generated biome. Each obstacle it clears earns you cash, which you bring back into the shop to buy better blocks and start the cycle again.
- Open the shop browse the available blocks and buy what you can afford.
- Build your boat place and arrange blocks to form a working hull.
- Launch send your boat out; it starts sailing and clearing obstacles automatically.
- Collect cash every obstacle cleared adds to your total.
- Upgrade return to the shop with your cash and buy improved or rare blocks.

Rare blocks and mutations
Summary
The shop stocks both ordinary blocks and rare ones. Rare blocks each come with their own mutation — a special effect or ability that standard blocks do not have. Adding them to your build can change both how the boat performs and how it looks.
- Rare blocks carry individual mutations that standard blocks lack.
- Mutations special effects tied to a specific rare block, not shared by common ones.
