Docking Ships

[b]6/10[/b] Guide your ship to the dock, avoiding rocks, cannons, and the patrolling armada. [b]What is it:[/b] A turn-based grid navigation puzzle, where you use one of the 5 possible moves, combined with the direction you're currently facing, to reach the target dock. The one "missing" move that would make this game trivial is going one step ahead. The possible moves are two steps ahead, one left or one right, and one ahead followed by a left or right move. Two new mechanics are later introduced: cannons that make certain rows/columns impassable until you destroy them, and enemy ships patrolling on fixed routes that can not be allowed to intersect your path. The game is nice, with an interesting idea that is executed well enough, and the devs seem to be handling post-launch bugs quickly enough. The type of game this reminded me most of is chess knights movement puzzles. [b]How hard is it:[/b] Easy to moderate. The last 10 puzzles, where all the different things come together in your way require some planning, but no level is a real headscratcher. [b]How long is it:[/b] 40 levels, about one or two minute each, for about 1-2 hours of gameplay. No level skipping. [b]Level design:[/b] Decent. Not too hard, but no level felt randomly picked. [b]Quality:[/b] OK. Nice graphics, a few settings, progress achievements, no cloud saves, no undo, settings are not always persisted between restarts, crashed once. [b]Worth the price:[/b] Wait for a sale. [b]Most positive aspect for me:[/b] Good logic game. [b]Most negative aspect for me:[/b] No undo.

右or左に移動、１マス前進してから右or左に移動、２マス前進の５つの動きで、目的のポイントに到達すればクリアのパズルです。１マスだけ前進する歩の動きはできません。 レベルが進むと、大砲（砲台の向きに侵入不可マスを作る）や敵の船（一定の動きで進路を塞いでくる）が出てきます。 シンプルですが面白いパズルゲームでした。序盤は簡単ですが終盤は結構難しくなります。なかなかうまくいかなかった後で割とすらすらとクリアできたりすると楽しいですね。なんというか、苦戦している時のストレスのたまり方が悪くない。できた時の達成感につながる感じです。 全４０レベルで２時間近く遊べました。レベルオールクリアで実績をすべて解除できます。「一手戻る」が出来ないので苦手な人は注意してください。
