About the game

Port Stacker is a calm logistics puzzle at a busy harbour. A beaver runs the big dock crane, an otter captains the cargo ship, and a train of containers waits on the quay. Every container is painted in the colour and emblem of the port it is going to, and the route map at the top shows the order the ship will visit them.

The catch is that every bay on the ship is a stack. The crane can only lift the box on top, so a container for the first port that ends up under one for the last port has to be dug out, and each dig costs a crane move. Load the last port first and the earliest ports on top, keep an eye on the red warning badges, and use undo before you sail. Twenty-four levels add more ports, wider ships, uneven bay heights and cargo already aboard.
