## What is Ship It?

The object of the game is to move across the docks and load as many ships as possible with cargo... but be careful, you need to get the right type of cargo on the right type of ship.

There are 4 ship types used in the game:
Tanker = Crude Oil
Bulk Carrier = Grain
Container Vessel = Containers
Ferry = People / Vehicles

Tap the mini dock icons or slide the dock left and right, drag a cargo icon to the correct ship, wait for it to load and cast off the ship.

REVIEWS:

"...The game also falls under the ‘easy to learn, difficult to master’ heading, it’s easy enough to learn how to do all the things you’re required to on the game but its quite another to learn how to be as efficient as possible in all of it. Certainly worth a download, you might be pleasantly surprised..."  GodisaGeek.com 

"...You are in control of loading and sending the ships on their way. Don’t think this app is a push over, because it is not..." Crazy Mike's Apps

"...Coracle Online First to Launch Line of Maritime iPhone and iPod Touch Applications..." GCaptain.com

"...Frantic. Fast. Fun. Realistic 3D graphics and animations...and the real fun is how it gets fast after about level 7, then frantic at levels 10 and above. I made it to level 18. Going back for more!..."

"...Challenging & fun game! Awesome graphics combined with a nice progression of difficulty make this a great buy. I gained a new level of respect for what the shipping industry must go through in a day!..."

### 3/5 — Fun when I can play it

*2021-03-01, version 2.0*

It’s a fun game when it plays, but it has a habit of freezing up after rounds. I think it’s that the ads sometimes don’t load, and that freezes the whole game.

### 1/5 — I want a refund

*2016-11-28, version 1.0*

The game won't even load. I want my money back this is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPhone 5

*2014-05-24, version 1.0*

Probably shouldn't have expected any different from a 5 year old game, but the graphics don't work on iPhone 5.

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-08-24, version 1.0*

### 1/5 — Worst game ever

*2012-06-26, version 1.0*

This game is crap the writing is backwards half of the buttons don't work :(

### 2/5 — Too easy and average.

*2011-09-22, version 1.0*

Make it more fun, it's too easy.

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2011-03-05, version 1.0*

I like the game but when I finish a mission and I press main menu it goes out of the game and I have to press the app.then it returns to main menu. But the game is pretty awesome.

### 4/5 — Fine but ...

*2011-02-04, version 1.0*

... the jump from level 17 to level 18 is nearly impossible.

### 4/5 — Fun addictive

*2011-01-25, version 1.0*

This game is fun and not hard to use. I can see myself playing it all the time.
