Title screen: the words Crate Harbor over a wooden pier with crates, a channel of blue water, life-ring buoys and a dockhand in an orange cap
Every level is a pier on the water
Level 1, Fishing Village: a small pier with one crate, one delivery mark and the dockhand, with the undo and hint buttons below
Fishing Village teaches the push on the board itself
Level 181, Barrel Quay: two barrels and two crates on a pier beside a flowing channel with a buoy at its end
Barrel Quay: barrels roll, the channel pulls, the buoy waits

Push the crate. Let the water do the rest.

Push, never pull

Classic Sokoban rules: one crate, one square at a time, and you can never pull. Every port is a small wooden pier where every push matters.

Crates float

Push a crate off the pier and it floats. Slow water carries it one square every move, rapids sweep it away at once, still water holds it where it landed.

Dock at the buoys

Some deliveries are made on the water. Steer a floating crate onto a buoy and it is tied down for good. Spare crates can be sacrificed as stepping stones.

Ride the current

Step onto a floating crate and drift with it. Later ports add ice that slides, barrels that roll until something stops them, and tide gates that open and close the channels.

500 levels, 20 ports

From Fishing Village to Grand Harbor. Every level is built and verified by a solver: there is always a way through, the water always matters, and a greedy push never works.

Twenty ports, one new trick each

Each port introduces one idea and then mixes it with everything before it: still water, currents, rapids, ice, barrels, two and three crate colours, river crossings and tide gates, all the way to five-crate puzzles in Grand Harbor.
