About

Tugboat.app

Features
Read full description

A very serious and not-at-all-silly app featuring a tugboat and his tugboat horn. Up to 12 seconds of honking action at a time (after which he needs to take a breath). With both day and night modes available for reasons no one really understands, and achievements to unlock and share, you can scare the clouds away or make the stars shudder with each blast of the horn. Entertain your friends, get all the achievements and, most importantly, surprise people with an unexpected tugboat. HOOOOOOONK.
