A More Realistic Type of Game
Just like in the game Flight Control, you (the player) have the task of assigning, in this case, ports to incoming water traffic. However, unlike Flight Control (although I find Flight Control to be just as addicting!) , Harbor Master also tasks you with instructing the ships on how to exit. Instead of the non realistic, endless runway that we see in Flight Control,Harbor Master is realistic and has another great feature. The Canon Level is a great part of this game. In addition to challenging you to direct the incoming and outgoing traffic and MAKING SURE THAT THE BOATS DONT CRASH, in the Canon level, you must protect incoming boats from "pirates". Each ship has a different number of cargo packages (represented by small orange rectangles on each ship). The player must shoot down any pirates that enter the playing area. If a pirate ship attacks a ship, you must shoot and destroy the pirate ship (2 hits will destroy the pirates) before it can take all of the cargo (before it can take the orange boxes). Overall, this is a great game and I enjoy playing it.
One suggestion, please add an option (so that those who want an extremely challenging game can still have it) to have a way to tell ships to sit still in the water.
Congratulations on a great application Imangi Studios!
My Plane Crashed And Landed On HARBOR MASTER!
Wooo! Finally it's out.
So check it out, the game's obviously inspired by Flight Control. If you can't get past that fact and will keep yapping about how it's like FC on water, go away! You're not needed. If you wanna know what the difference is. Keep reading...
One of the main differences is that instead of just docking the ships, you also have to undock them. Three maps from the get go with online scoreboards and those delish features.
Natalia's music + soundtrack are still infectitious as ever.
There's nothing else to be said, game looks and plays fantastic. I guarantee you this is just as addicting as Flight Control if not better ;p
Best game in the app store. Period.
While I agree that this game seems like a close relation of Flight Control, it does everything so much better. Each of the three Flight Control maps (which we had to wait quite a while for) is different in terms of layout, but not much else. Each of the three Harbor Master maps (available in the first version) has different layouts plus an additional difference. Fishing Bay is the basic map. The Cyclone Island map contains a cyclone that might grab your ship and throw it off course, and the Sturgeon Creek map has two different ports (2 docks each) that are used for the different color cargo on the ships. On Flight Control, once you land a plane it is done. In Harbor Master, once you offload your cargo you need to navigate the empty ship off the map. Usually that means aiming the ship for the side and hoping it doesn't hit anything.
I also rate Flight Control 5 stars. I wish I could throw more stars on this one. I hope this one gets more features, but this is an absolute steal at this price even if it is never updated again.
