Draw safe routes. Guide ships to dock. Keep the harbor moving. Harbor King is a real-time ship traffic game that puts you in charge of a busy port. Draw a path for each boat, guide it to the correct dock to unload, then send it safely back out to sea. Watch every route: one collision can disrupt your run. DRAW, DOCK AND DEPART • Guide small boats and large cargo ships by drawing lines across the water. • Bring each vessel to the right dock to unload its cargo. • Keep dock entrances clear and plan around ships already on the move. • Lead ships out of the harbor once unloading is complete. KEEP TRAFFIC UNDER CONTROL As more vessels arrive, routes cross and dock space becomes limited. Plan ahead, react quickly and manage several ships at once. Different boats bring different handling challenges, making timing and route planning essential. COLLECT COINS AND CONTINUE YOUR RUN Draw through coin lines to collect coins along your route. Spin the daily wheel for additional rewards, then use coins to buy extra lives and continue after a mistake. QUICK ROUNDS, GROWING CHALLENGES Harbor King combines route drawing, time management and fast decisions in short play sessions. Each arrival gives you another path to plan and another collision to avoid. Take charge of the port and guide every ship safely home.

No ads, no pop-ups, no "watch a video to continue." No fake currency. No timers pressuring you. No puzzle secretly rigged to be unsolvable so you'll watch a rescue ad. CleanSort is ball sort the way it should have been all along — a calm, honest color-sorting puzzle you can play on a plane, hand to a kid, or share with a friend, without anyone trying to sell you something or interrupt your train of thought. WHAT MAKES IT CLEAN - No ads, ever. Not between levels, not on restart, not mid-puzzle — and not a banner parked at the bottom of the screen. None. - No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no "premium." The whole app is yours. - Every new deal is guaranteed solvable — checked by a built-in solver before you ever see it. You'll never be handed an impossible puzzle. - Works fully offline. No account, no sign-in, no tracking. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY LIKE THE GAME - Unlimited undo — take back as many moves as you want, no penalty, no watching anything. - Optional hints when you're stuck — and a hint is the real answer: the first move of a shortest solution, not a guess. (Games you needed a hint on don't count as clean wins. Fair's fair.) - The grudge list: needed a hint? That deal is remembered. Rematch it any time — beat it without help, and the grudge is redeemed. - Bookmarks: mark a position you're unsure about, experiment freely, and jump straight back. - Smart pours: a run of same-colored balls moves together in one move, the way the puzzle really works. SHARE PUZZLES WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY Every deal has a short shareable code. Send a fiendish one to a friend, or compare how you each cracked the same puzzle. WHY IT EXISTS I got tired of ball sort apps stuffed with ads and dark patterns, and I wanted my own kids to have a clean one. So I made it, and I'm sharing it. That's the whole story.
