Field notes
The page lays out a timing-and-steering loop: place a drifter, choose when to release it, and make up to three corrections before the tide carries it toward a target. It says the daily settings will be drawn from 80 UK-and-Ireland tide hotspots and credits named sources for tide, bathymetry, coastline, and place-name data. These are descriptions of the planned game, not evidence of a currently playable app.
