## What is Launch the Ship?

CLEAR THE RUNWAY. LAUNCH THE SHIP.

Launch the Ship turns the classic sliding-block puzzle into a space mission. Move each cargo container only along its marked direction, open a route through the launch bay, and send your ship into the stars.

100 MISSIONS, RISING CHALLENGE
Start with a guided launch, then take on denser grids, immovable asteroids, and tougher routes as you travel deeper into space.

THINK BEFORE YOU SLIDE
Every move changes the board. Plan ahead, undo when a route closes, and find the cleanest path to the launch gate.

HINTS WHEN YOU NEED THEM
Hints are always available. Tap Hint whenever you want a suggested move—no ads, account, purchase, or network connection required.

CHASE A BETTER RUN
Finish each mission, compare your move count with your best result, and replay until every launch feels effortless.
