In Ship Out, your main objective is to clear the harbor by sliding ships in specific sequences so each can exit without getting blocked. Boats only move in their facing direction, which means every move must be carefully considered.
Some layouts require several strategic shifts to break the gridlock and free all vessels.
Success in Ship Out relies on visualizing the impact of each move. Prioritize clearing larger ships and identify key blockers early. Use power-ups like hints and undo sparingly to optimize your score.
Efficiency is rewarded, so minimizing moves matters if you want to master each stage.
Ship Out is designed to train spatial reasoning and logical thinking. By requiring you to predict outcomes and sequence moves, it supports brain development for both kids and adults. This makes it a great choice for short, stimulating puzzle sessions.

The goal in Ship Out is to slide each ship out of the jammed harbor by moving them in the correct sequence. Each boat can only move forward or backward in the direction it is facing, so planning is essential to avoid getting stuck.
Use your mouse or tap on a ship to select it, then drag or swipe to move it along its path. For PC, click and drag with the mouse; on mobile, tap and swipe with your finger.
Levels increase in difficulty, introducing more boats, obstacles, and tighter spaces. You'll need to think ahead and consider the order of moves to clear the way for every ship.
Power-ups like undo and hints can be used if you're stuck, but using fewer moves gives a higher score. Some levels feature unique layouts requiring creative problem-solving.
Plan your sequence - Visualize several moves ahead before sliding any ships. Clear big blockers first - Move large ships that block multiple others early in your solution. Use undo wisely - Undo lets you fix a mistake without restarting the whole level.
Save hints - Use hints only when you're really stuck to develop your own strategies. Watch ship orientation - Remember, ships can only move in the direction they're facing. Minimize moves - Fewer moves yield better scores and faster progression.
