About this game

Steer a tugboat around the Golden Horn and grow your chain of barges.

You steer a tugboat and the chain of barges it tows around the Golden Horn. Every floating crate you pick up lengthens the chain and speeds the tug up, and the golden crate that shows up for a few seconds is worth five barges. Stay clear of the shore, the buoys and your own chain, or switch on wrap-around edges or no buoys for a relaxed ride.

How to play

  1. Swipe to change the tug's direction.
  2. Pick up floating crates; each one adds a barge to the chain.
  3. The golden crate stays for a few seconds and is worth five barges.
  4. Hit the shore, a buoy or your own chain and the voyage ends; tap once to go again.

Controls

  • Swipe or arrow keys / WASD: steer
  • Tap or Space: start and play again
  • Esc or P: pause

Tips

  • You can swipe two quick turns in a row; the game remembers the next two.
  • Don't coil the chain in on itself: follow your own tail to keep open water.
  • Buoys first show up as a ripple; steer clear before the ripple settles.

Questions and answers

Is it free?

Yes, you can play it for free. There are no ads inside the game.

How do I play on my phone?

Hold your phone upright and swipe anywhere on the screen with one thumb. On a computer, use the arrow keys or WASD.

Do the easy options count towards my score?

No. Voyages with wrap-around edges or without buoys are not scored and do not change your best; the main game uses the classic rules.
