We write the year 1714. Your Ewer, a small cargo ship, is located in the port of the Hanseatic city of Lüneburg and is fully laden with salt. For centuries, a large part of the salt won in Lüneburg on the Ilmenau downstream transported to the mouth in the Elbe and then elbeaufwärts to Lauenburg. There it is transhipped into smaller boats, which bring it via the Stecknitz Canal to Lübeck.
Bring the salt to its destination as fast as possible, but watch out for your ship. The river is winding and the weather is not always nice. In fog and rain you have to be careful not to hit the shore. There are islands in the river, and after storms also tree trunks in the water can drift. Sometimes the one meets Ewer, who is turned up the river, so pulled by strong men on a rope. Avoid collisions, but be as fast as possible. When the wind is favorable, your sail will help you to get ahead. But if he blows you against, you should move in the sail better and let you drift only.
The drive from Lüneburg to Lauenburg used to take a few days. Therefore, it is only up to Bardowick, about 5 km from Lüneburg. The course of the river, landscape and buildings are modeled as they can be seen on the large Ilmenau map from 1714. The Ilmenau flows quite slowly with 1.5 m / s. Therefore, depending on the wind, a ride can take a half to an hour. If this is too slow, you can increase the speed - there are four levels of difficulty: Realism, Speed I, Speed II and Speed III.
The score is calculated after covering the entire route from the required time and the state of the ship, which is getting worse by any collision. The ship is controlled either by tilting the smartphone or by swiping on the screen. The rudder returns to the middle position when released or straightened. As with the right ship, it takes a while before the rudder's effect begins. The sail is pulled up or lowered by swipes.
Good ride!
