@brainit-consulting4Tidehook: a little tug, a heavy tow, and a harbour to restore
M/V Mallow is a small tug with a stubborn heart. Hook a find, feel its weight in the steering, and bring it home to Brindle Bay.
Tidehook is my free browser salvage adventure under Mafuta Games. Three short voyages bring together towing, harbour restoration, upgrades, a working dock crane, passing fog and original music.
I would love a few people to try the first voyage and tell me how the boat feels. Is hooking cargo clear? Does a heavy tow feel different without becoming frustrating? Is it obvious when the crane will take over?

Making players feel the weight of a heavy tow right in the steering is the kind of detail that makes a small free game stick with people. Keeping it to three short voyages that run in the browser with nothing to install also makes Tidehook an easy thing to try on a lunch break and pass along to a friend.
