Ship it! Review (iOS)

Posted by Amy Shortz Baldry, 2 days ago

This fast paced maritime game from coracle give you the opportunity to deal with the frantic schedules of the shipping industry as you are in control of loading and departing various ships within a certain amount of time within each level.

Ship ti

You are given a number of varying ports for specific ships ranging from oil, grain, container and ferries where each ship will dock its your job to make sure the correct cargo gets on the right ship in time. From the game display you are shown a line of colour grids each depicting different ports when a ship has arrived at the port and is ready to be loaded a exclamation mark will show up in the colour box, simply tap on this colour to be brought to the dock and drag the cargo from its conveyor belt shown at the bottom on the game interface.

On first appearances this game can seem like its slow paced in the first few levels but this gives you a chance to get used to everything before it starts getting crazy, each level gradually gets busier and the conveyor belt of cargo starts moving quicker which mean you need to start being a lot more organised on loading and sending off ships. The graphics are very 3 dimensional, realistic and certainly justify the game the sounds are what you would expect from a maritime game although when in the menu having a screaming seagull startling you when you choose an option can become a bit much.

When I downloaded this game on my device i thought to myself how can this kind of game concept even be entertaining, but books should never be judged by their covers once you get into it, it becomes a simple game idea that becomes fun, frantic and keeps you engrossed.

 Our Rating for Ship it! Review (iOS)
6.5
Overall
great realistic graphics and a fun engrossing game with 2 minute levels that will have your eyes and your fingers moving in all directions to make the maritime grade!
