About this game

A calm crane challenge about balance, momentum and gentle landings. Move a small counterweight to keep the suspended cargo level.

Three courses teach different skills: a steady delivery, a narrow gate and changing wind. Replay a course to improve your maximum tilt.

How to play

  1. Use the stick or arrow keys to move the cargo. Slide the weight with the two mint arrows or A / D.
  2. Tap the turtle or hold Shift for slow movement. Release early to brake, then lower gently onto the centre of the mint pad.
  3. If the cargo hits an obstacle or tilts too far, try again. Pause, sound and fullscreen are in the pause menu.
