Nothing else is on rails.

Every container you drop lands for real. No grid, no snapping, no invisible glue. The barge under your cargo tilts with every kilo you put on it, and if you load one side too heavy you will watch a whole run slide off the edge and into the harbour.

βš“ ONE THUMB. ONE MINUTE.
Portrait, one hand, no tutorial wall. Drag to swing the crane, let go to drop. A run lasts about a minute and a restart is a single tap.

πŸ“¦ MERGE MODE
Two matching containers touch and fuse into the next tier up. Then that one merges. Place a single box well and the whole deck cascades under it, tier 2, 3, 4, 5, climbing in one move. Twelve tiers exist. Almost nobody sees the top one.

♾️ ENDLESS
No merges. No mercy. Stack as high as your nerve holds. Push far enough and the weather turns on you, wind first, then rain, and a deck that has stopped being polite.

πŸ“… DAILY RUN
The same cargo in the same order for every player, once a day. No luck, no excuses, and a daily leaderboard that says exactly where you finished.

πŸ›’οΈ CARGO THAT FIGHTS BACK
Barrels roll off a tilt. Tetrapods refuse to sit flat. Gas tanks really explode. Relic crates are worth a fortune and shaped like a bad decision. Learn what each one does, or find out the expensive way.

🎨 RUN YOUR OWN YARD
Spend what you earn on container liveries, harbour themes and times of day. Crack open containers for loot. Push six upgrade tracks to bend the run the way you actually play.

πŸ“΄ PLAYS OFFLINE
No connection needed. Free to play, with optional purchases and a one time ad free unlock if you want the harbour quiet.

Twelve tiers. One tilting deck. How much can you land before it all goes over? βš“ ## Rankings - #1,677,280 β€” Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.READ_BASIC_PHONE_STATE` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `dev.tw.ballast.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Cargo Stack](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cargo.stack.port.run) β€” 7 users - [Stack the Plane](https://chrome-stats.com/d/games.dawnbright.stacktheplane) β€” 222 users - [Stack the Ship](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.offbythree.stacktheship) β€” 4 users - [Cargo Drift](https://chrome-stats.com/d/co.ironyard.cargoshift) - [Cargo Stack](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.GameCircle.CargoStack) β€” 88 users - [Cargo Tower](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ggct.polssswda.takaso) β€” 1 users - [Load the ship!](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ship.load) - [Box Stack](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.boxstacker.app) β€” 6 users - [Cargo Sort](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mouradsninou.cargosort) β€” 301,547 users, 4.68 / 5 - [Cargo Clamp](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cargo.clamp.e3f3) β€” 56 users - [Color Sort: Cargo Puzzle](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bqxgames.cargosort) β€” 53 users - [Claw Crane Grab](https://chrome-stats.com/d/clawcrane.grabhook.quay) --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/dev.tw.ballast)
