❓ How to Play

Goal: Float the 🚢 boat from the START chamber to the END chamber by raising and lowering water levels to lift the gates between them.

Inlet valve (▲ blue, top): tap to raise that chamber's water level by one step.
Outlet valve (▼ red, bottom): tap to lower the water level by one step.
Gate (between chambers): tap to LIFT it — but ONLY when water levels on both sides are EQUAL. Once lifted, the boat can pass.

Water levels: 0 (empty) ▢ · 1 ▁ · 2 ▂ · 3 ▔ (full). The dashed target line shows the goal level.
Boat draft: the boat needs water level ≥ draft to float. Tier 5 cargo boats have draft 3 (must fill to max). Tier 1-2: Single & Twin Locks Equalize 2-3 chambers, lift 1-2 gates. Tier 3-4: Long Canals 4-5 chambers in series, multiple gates. Tier 5: Heavy Cargo Draft 3 — every chamber must reach full. Tier 6: Imperial Canals 6 chambers, 5 gates, master-level routing.
