Boat Controller is a complete, modular water vehicle system for Unity designed for arcade-style gameplay. It provides responsive boat movement, buoyancy physics, procedural waves, dynamic camera effects, aerial tricks, speed ramps, audio, and HUD components — all built with clean architecture and easy customization in mind.
This asset is ideal for speedboats, jetskis, futuristic watercraft, and arcade racing or exploration games where fun, control, and feel matter more than heavy simulation.
Core Features
Water Physics
- Spring-based buoyancy system with configurable float depth
- Water drag for natural deceleration and handling
- Procedural wave simulation affecting height and tilt
- Smooth transitions between water and air states
- Separate airborne physics with gravity scaling
Movement & Handling
