You are the harbour master. Ships arrive from every direction and it's up to you to get them safely to the quay. Drag a route with your finger from each ship to the quay of the same colour, and make sure nobody collides or runs aground. EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER • Draw a route with your finger, from the ship to the quay with the same colour and symbol • Fishing boats, ferries, container ships, tankers, cruise ships and sailboats: each with its own speed, turning circle and quay • At the quay the ship loads or unloads, then sails off on its own • A playable tutorial teaches you the basics, and the 'Game guide' with animated drawings explains everything EVERY HARBOUR IS DIFFERENT • Tugs and pilot boats help big ships in • Locks, opening bridges and canal convoys • Currents, tides, fog, night, storms, monsoon and typhoons • Day and night: after dark lighthouses, buoys and quays light up, and every ship sails with navigation lights • Send a ship to anchor outside the harbour when it gets too busy DISRUPTORS • Police boats, speedboats and customs cross your routes • Whales, submarines, seaplanes, ice floes, driftwood and a regatta • Warnings get stricter as you progress: too many and you lose your job as harbour master 27 REAL HARBOURS, 810 LEVELS From Ostend, Zeebrugge and Antwerp to Rotterdam, Hamburg, Venice, Istanbul, Singapore, Shanghai, Sydney, Panama and New York.
