Intermodal
INTERMODAL is a logistics arcade multitasking game about moving shipping containers from the ship, to the port, and finally to the trucks that will take them to their destinations. Tractors unload the ship and take containers to the storage yard. Trucks take matching colored containers out of the port for delivery.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Ships arrive at the port and will stay for 90 seconds
- Click empty tractors to make them go to an empty crane on the dock and containers will be loaded automatically
- Click full tractors to make them go to an empty area of the storage yard and drop off the container
- Click a lane at the trucking terminal when the light is green to dispatch a truck to the pickup location
- Trucks will only pick up a matching color container and will only wait 10 seconds before leaving
- You lose if
- A container ship leaves port without being fully unloaded
- 3 trucks leave the port without a container
- Or the storage yard is full for more than 10 seconds
- Good luck!
SCORING POINTS
- 1 point for each second remaining when a ship is fully unloaded
- 5 points for each container that is successfully delivered to a truck
- -10 points for trucks that leave without a container

i love it, i played it countless times and i got a score of around 1660. it gives me similar vibes to those of "mini motorways". i would love some "powerups" to somehow make more space in the warehouse if i got enough of *something*
maybe getting money for each delivered container and then being able to buy another dock for depositing containers, maybe being able to buy another truck lane, maybe a one-time "powerup" that would make all trucks of a certain color "go away" from the lanes without incurring penalties
Any chance of a Linux download too, Mr J?
Nice and simple but there are just too many deadlock situations. The game should not just put out colors at random but make sure there is enough variation so that it always remains solvable.
Up to 10 ships unloaded, but I keep running into rounds where the truck lanes are entirely filled with a single color, and the storage area with anything but.
That said, this game is quite engrossing. Could use an option to pause, maybe some keyboard options to prevent this from becoming a carpal tunnel simulator, but overall, very fun,
18 ships unloaded. It was a rabbit hole to me, was falling deeper and deeper. Love this simple game.
