Read full description

You are the harbor master of a small, sunlit port, and the boats will not stop coming. Harborune is a game about split-second sorting. A boat drifts into the bay, a timer ring closes around it, and you have a handful of seconds to decide where it belongs. Tap the boat, tap its dock, and it sails in. Get it right and your combo climbs. Get it wrong, or let the clock run out, and the harbor loses a little more of your patience โ€” and one of your three lives. The first minute is calm. Two colors, one boat at a time, plenty of room to think. Then a third color arrives. Then a fourth. Then the boats start overlapping, the timers get shorter, and the strange ones begin to show up. KNOW YOUR BOATS โ€ข Color boats โ€” red, blue, yellow and green. Each fits only the dock of its own color. โ€ข Fast boats โ€” half the usual time on the clock. Read the chip, move now. โ€ข Ice boats โ€” dock one correctly and the whole harbor freezes for five seconds. Arrivals slow, timers stretch, and you get a moment to breathe. โ€ข Rainbow boats โ€” accepted by any dock at all. A gift when the bay is full. โ€ข Danger boats โ€” only the marked safe dock will do, and a mistake costs two lives instead of one. Handle with care. Special hulls do not wear their destination in their paint, so each one carries a colored chip telling you where it needs to go. Learning to read those chips at a glance is the whole skill of the game. BUILD THE COMBO Every clean dock extends your streak. Three in a row multiplies your score by 1.2, five by 1.5, and ten or more doubles it outright. A single mistake resets you to zero, which turns every busy moment into a real decision: play the safe boat, or gamble on the one that is almost out of time? TWO WAYS TO PLAY โ€ข Endless โ€” the harbor keeps getting busier until your last life is gone. How long can you hold it together? โ€ข 60 Second Challenge โ€” one minute, no mercy, maximum points. Perfect for a queue or a coffee break. Each mode keeps its own best score, so you always know exactly what you are chasing. FEELS GOOD IN THE HAND Every action answers you back. Boats bounce when you pick them up, docks flash when they accept, points float up out of the water, and the screen edge flares red when you slip. Sound and vibration are both tuned to the moment โ€” and both have a switch, if you would rather play in silence. ELEVEN ACHIEVEMENTS From your very first dock to five hundred of them, from a 5x combo to a 20x one, with separate goals for mastering fast, ice, danger and rainbow boats. Progress is always visible, so you can see exactly how close you are. COMPLETELY OFFLINE No account. No sign-up. No internet connection. No ads interrupting a run. Your scores, statistics and achievements live on your device and nowhere else. Open the app on a plane, on a train, or in a basement, and it works exactly the same. Simple to learn in ten seconds. Genuinely hard to master. The tide is coming in. Get to work.
