Boat Jam
About Boat Jam: Relaxing 100-Level Harbor Sliding Puzzle
Boat Jam is a sliding-block puzzle set in a busy harbor, where tightly packed boats block the way and your task is to clear a path for the red target boat to sail out to sea. With 100 solver-verified levels, every puzzle is guaranteed to have a solution, so no jam is ever truly hopeless. You'll find no timers and no pressure — just the satisfying click of a congested harbor opening up.
One scene shows grey metal industrial walls with yellow hazard stripes forming a square border around a water-filled grid. In that same scene, a bright orange and white boat with a glowing red aura sits horizontally on the grid.
Earn stars across the levels to unlock 8 hand-drawn harbor themes, ranging from classic wooden boats to Nordic fjords, tropical islands, night harbors, and warships.
How to Play Boat Jam: Clear the Path to the Harbor Exit
The goal in Boat Jam is to slide boats out of the way so the target boat can reach the harbor exit. Once the path is open, the target boat sails out on its own and the level is complete.
Boats only slide along their own direction — horizontal boats move left and right, vertical boats move up and down — and none can pass through another. Finishing a level in as few moves as possible earns up to 3 stars, and matching the best known solution earns the full 3. Those stars unlock new boat themes.
