Tap to let go of the swinging claw and land the container on a barge that never stops moving.
👆 Tap anywhere to release the claw ← All gamesCrane hands you one button and two things that refuse to hold still. Overhead, a gantry claw swings back and forth across the dock with a shipping container hanging from it. Below, a barge slides along the water, reversing every time it touches a bank. Your container falls straight down from wherever the claw happens to be when you let go, and the fall takes exactly half a second — so the tap is never about where the barge is now, it is about where the barge will be when the box arrives. Lead the target and the container thumps onto the deck; tap on instinct and it goes into the harbour. There is nothing to install and no account to make: it runs free in any browser, on a phone or a desktop.
Tap anywhere to release. Points tick up for every second the dock stays open, with a bonus per container landed and a bigger one each time five of them fill a barge and it sails. You get three misses. A container that hits the water costs one — and so does waiting too long, because the bar above the load is a cable-overload fuse that burns down whether or not you act. After a release the dock needs a moment to hook the next box, so you cannot simply spam the button.
The claw is slowest at the ends of its swing and fastest through the middle — releasing near a turning point makes the drop far more predictable. Watch which way the barge is heading and aim slightly ahead of it. As the run goes on the barge narrows and speeds up while the fuse shortens, so the comfortable pause you had at the start quietly disappears.
