About this game

Harbor Gridlock is a logic puzzle for your phone, in portrait mode, set in a 3D harbor full of colorful boats. Every boat points in one direction: tap it and, if its path to the edge of the water is clear, it sails off. If it is blocked, it shakes and you lose a heart. Think about the order to untangle the traffic jam.

The fleet has four kinds of lovingly built boats: tugboats, fishing boats, container ships and ferries, each in its own colors, dropping into the water with a little bounce and sailing off with a toot and a trail of foam.

There is one twist that changes everything: the quay has only 4 berths. Every boat that leaves takes a berth and only sails away once it receives all of its crates, and the crates arrive from a queue in a fixed order and color. If the berths fill up while boats are still on the water, the level is over. Plan before you tap.

Every level has a guaranteed solution: each one is built by an algorithm and checked by a solver before it goes into the game. You never have to guess.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Tap a boat that has a clear path to the edge: it leaves and takes a berth on the quay.
• Crates in the queue always go to the boat of the same color. A full boat sails away and frees its berth.
• You get 3 hearts per level. Bumping into a blocked boat costs one.
• Undo: 3 free per level, then 3 coins each.
• Hint: shows which boat to tap. Costs 10 coins. You start with 30.
• Crane: lifts out a boat even if it is blocked (15 coins).
• Mix: shuffles what is left of the queue, always leaving a way out (12 coins).
• Rotate: sends the first crate to the end of the queue (6 coins).

CAMPAIGN: 72 LEVELS IN 6 CHAPTERS
• Market Quay, Fruit River, Net Bay, Lighthouse Isle, Shipyard and Grand Harbor, each with its own scenery and colors.
• Difficulty rises gradually: the first level has 4 boats and the last one has 16, with up to 7 colors.
• Earn 1 to 3 stars: 1 for winning, plus 1 for not bumping into blocked boats, plus 1 for winning without a hint or tool. There is no clock that ends your game.
• The last level of each chapter is a special challenge, with extra coins as a reward.

AND MORE
• Daily challenge: a new harbor every day, the same for everyone, with a day streak. Share your result without giving away the solution.
• Daily reward with a 7-day calendar.
• Your game is saved after every move: close the app and pick up where you left off.

• Works without internet.

ADS
The game is free and has ads: an ad now and then between levels (never in the middle of a game and never in the first two levels), a discreet banner at the bottom of the menus (never during a game) and optional ads you choose to watch to earn coins, a hint, extra hearts or an extra berth on the quay. In Settings there is an ad privacy button when your region requires it.
