Cargo Boat
Crane crates onto a floating cargo boat that really tilts with every ton, then sail it through rolling waves to port. Ballast water sloshing in the hold makes every load a balancing act.

About the game
Cargo Boat is a physics puzzle about loading a little freighter and getting it to port in one piece. A harbour crane swings each crate over the deck, from light 1-ton boxes to heavy 5-ton blocks, and you choose where it drops. The boat floats on real buoyancy, so every crate makes it heel a little more. Once the queue is loaded you set sail through rolling waves, and even rogue waves, toward the dock.
The twist sits below deck: the hold is half full of ballast water that sloshes to the low side and makes every roll bigger. While sailing, hold the left or right side to pump the water across and level the boat; some hulls have baffles that calm it. Lose too many crates, flood the deck or capsize and the run is over. 25 levels give up to three stars each.
