Harbor Chaos
Read full descriptionHide full description
Harbor Chaos is a sliding-block puzzle set in a calm, low-poly harbor. The basin is gridlocked with ships, and your red boat is stuck. Slide the other vessels out of the way, open a lane, and guide the red ship to the open sea. Every ship moves only along its own axis ā boats facing across the water slide left and right, boats facing along it slide up and down. Nothing rotates, nothing falls, nothing is placed. It is pure, calm spatial logic: read the jam, find the order of moves, and untangle it. 100 LEVELS, STEADILY HARDER A difficulty curve that starts gentle and keeps climbing ā from a two-move intro to deep eighteen-move tangles. Every single level is verified by a solver to have a clean, fair solution, so you are never stuck on something broken. EARN YOUR STARS Each level has a known best solution. Solve it in the fewest moves for three stars, stay close for two. Replay any level to chase a perfect run.

What belongs together? Find the right cards and clear the board one category at a time. Every board is built from stacks of charming illustrated cards. Only uncovered cards can be moved. Sort them into the categories on display, reveal the pictures underneath and decide which stack to tackle first. Completing a category makes room for the next one. With only a few holding spaces available, finding the right order is the heart of every puzzle. Sortello starts gently and becomes more thoughtful one step at a time. Early levels give you plenty of room to experiment; later puzzles reward planning ahead. If a solution slips away, restart the level with the same card layout. Learn from each move and try a smarter route next time.
