Vapurda Simit: Seagull Toss

You're on the deck of an Istanbul ferry with a warm simit in your hand. Seagulls flap alongside. Swipe, throw, and catch a gull in mid-air.

Vapurda Simit turns one of Istanbul's most familiar moments into a small, joyful game.

HOW TO PLAY • Swipe up and let go: a short swipe throws a high arc, a long swipe throws fast and flat. • Hit in a row to build a streak and multiply your score. • Read the wind: in a lodos storm the simit drifts and the ferry rolls. • Every gull wants a different throw. Black-headed gulls dive and climb, chicks get startled by hard throws, and the golden gull is gone in a blink.

ISTANBUL'S FERRY LINES • 11 lines, 42 piers, 45 routes: from Eminönü–Üsküdar to the Golden Horn, the Princes' Islands and the upper Bosphorus. • Every line has its own shoreline and sea traffic. • Six times of day from morning to night; clear skies, lodos, fog and snow. • Three voyages of rising difficulty and three stars on every route.

MORE TO DISCOVER • Route of the Day: the same route for everyone, every day. Play daily to build a streak. • Endless Voyage: the simit never runs out, but you have three life rings. Your score goes to weekly and monthly Game Center leaderboards. • Gull Album: find rare species and complete your collection. • Simitçi shop: spend coins you earn on sesame, whole-wheat, açma, poğaça and forked simit; wooden, copper and tile stalls; new sweaters. • Ferry tea: tap the glass the tea seller leaves and time slows down.

PLAY WITH PEACE OF MIND • No ads. • No in-app purchases; coins are earned by playing only. • No personal data collected. • Plays offline (except Game Center leaderboards).

Note: simit isn't good for real seagulls. Throw it in the game and enjoy the gulls from the ferry.
