Pocket Tide
You do not steer the ship. You turn the tide, and the current carries it home.
You do not steer the ship in Pocket Tide. You turn the tide. One tap reverses every current on the chart, and your boat drifts along the arrows toward the next harbor. Read the arrows, watch the reefs, and hold the anchor to slow down when you need to, but the anchor reserve is limited. Enter the marked harbor slowly to make the delivery. Each delivery adds time, which gives you another crossing to plan. Your hull is your life bar. There are 36 challenges, and later charts add whirlpools and moving sandbars. Medals go bronze for a clear, silver for losing at most one life and gold for losing none. Practice lets you explore without earning anything or touching your records. Shells you collect unlock sail color styles that change only the look.
