Balance Barge

48 seeded short loading manifests and crossings. Container weights and deck positions produce port/starboard and fore/aft torque; spring-and-damping buoyancy responds to cargo, stack height, wind and adjustable ballast. Pair equal weights across the deck, then watch two stability needles and a two-second gust forecast. Later manifests add stronger crosswinds, compulsory two-high corner stacks over reserved tank hatches, fore/aft gusts and a central heavy container. Crane moves cool down and lock at unsafe lean; only the top container can be lifted. Stars, best score, unlocked manifests and achieved UTC Daily streaks are saved. Friends compare identical seeded solo barge challenges, not shared physical cargo. This is a deliberately simplified toy hydrostatics model, not a marine simulator.

How to play

1. Tap the pulsing square to load the next numbered, weight-labelled container. Match equal weights across opposite deck squares.
2. Load the whole manifest, then launch. Use the port/starboard and fore/aft tank buttons to oppose lean and forecast wind.
3. Reach port before accumulated dangerous lean spills cargo. Tap a loaded container and its destination, or drag it, to rearrange; reset or pause when needed.

Tips

• Pairs share a weight and ribbed-container colour, but always use the printed tonnage rather than colour alone.
• Aim to keep both needles near the center. Tank inputs are incremental; more ballast is not always better.
• From manifest 17, tank hatches reserve four squares and corner stacks raise the center of mass. Lift the top container first.
