Tidal Lock Keeper

Tidal Lock Keeper is a free 3D canal lock game. A boat sits in a lock with two gates, three sluices and mooring lines on bollards. A gate only opens when the water on both sides is level, so you set the sluices to fill or drain the chamber at a steady rate. While the water moves, haul in or pay out the lines so the boat stays centred and the lines do not snap. When the levels match, open the exit gate and signal the boat out. Snapped lines, groundings and rushed gates cost strikes. There are 24 locks that bring boats up or down, adding tides, short boats, side currents and deep or shallow hulls.

How to play

1. Pick a sluice and set how fast the chamber fills or drains.
2. Haul in or pay out the lines as the boat rises or falls.
3. Open the gate when the levels match and press SIGNAL.

Tips

• Open sluices gently. A fast fill pushes the boat against its lines.
• Keep both lines slightly slack in rising water.
• Check the tide gauge on later locks.
