Black Wake

A 3D open-world speedboat game on a 5 km sea. Drive a low, black interceptor that planes, carves and leaves a real V-shaped wake; jump wave crests and feel the slam when you land. Follow circling birds to fish schools, haul floating salvage, dive old wrecks, then sell, refuel, repair and upgrade at Port Calder. Day turns to dusk and night, storms roll in with bigger swell, and pirates patrol near Scar Reef. Twelve jobs lead you across the map; your boat and cargo save automatically.

Play Black Wake — free, no download.

What makes it different

Water that reacts to speed: bow spray, a V-shaped wake with Kelvin arms, and wave jumps with a real landing slam.
A living sea: clear noon, golden dusk, night with harbour lights, and storms that build the biggest swell.
A small open world with a loop — fish, salvage, trade, upgrade, and decide how far your fuel will take you.

How to play

W / S for throttle and reverse, A / D to steer (on touch: drag the left stick).
Hold Shift — BOOST on touch — for a burst of speed. It burns fuel fast.
Follow circling birds to fish schools, ease off and press E (ACTION) to cast nets.
Pick up floating salvage and dive wrecks, then sell your hold at Port Calder.
Refuel, repair and upgrade engine, fuel tank, hull, cargo, radar and boost.
Watch fuel and hull. Pirates hunt near Scar Reef; storms bring the biggest waves.
