Keel: Open Water
Cargo keeps falling into the hold, pack it smart, because the ship tilts with every load and a list past the limit ends the run.
Was this fun?
How to play
This is a falling-block stacking game with a twist: weight matters. Slot each dropping container into the hold to clear lines, but every block shifts the ship's balance. Let one side grow heavier than the other and the deck heels over until it tips past the point of no return.
Move and rotate falling cargo to fill rows
Complete rows to clear them from the hold
Spread weight evenly to keep the ship level
Heel past the tipping angle and it's game over
Controls
Desktop: Left/Right arrows move, Up rotates, Down soft-drops, Space hard-drops
Phone & tablet: swipe to move, tap to rotate, swipe down to drop
Tips & strategy
Mirror your stacks, load the light side to answer every heavy drop
Clear lines fast to lower the whole load and reduce list
Don't chase a perfect fit if it tips the deck; balance beats tidiness
