PILOTAGE is a puzzle game with 40 anchorages: bring a fishing fleet home at dusk, every boat on a mooring of her own. Free in the browser for the first 10. Bring the fleet home You run the pilot launch. Take each boat in tow, bring her to a free mooring, and once she is moored she stays there for good.
Every boat is towed the shortest way through the channels, round every island, and the whole fleet's towing is scored against the least it could possibly be. Hold a direction and the launch steers. With a boat on your line, the number at the top of the screen, TOW, is how far she would be towed if you moored her right where you are. It changes with every step.
The nearest free mooring is always the one it likes best, and taking the closest boat to the closest mooring, again and again, leaves a far boat with a far mooring at the end. Every anchorage has a proved least towing For every anchorage the game works out the least towing any pairing of boats with moorings could give. That is the PAR on screen. Match it for GOLD, come within two steps for SILVER and four for BRONZE.
Anything more is LONG TOWS, and the next anchorage waits until you do better.
