    We just about to submit Update 2 of Harbor Master - Smugglers' Reef!

    [​IMG]

    One very simple tweak that makes a huge difference in the gameplay: ships can carry multiple colors of cargo.

    When a ship comes in with different cargo colors, you must unload one color at one dock, and then move the ship to the other dock to unload the remaining cargo. It's hectic and crazy and you have to be even better at prioritizing. If you love time management games, you'll really love this level!

    We also added Twitter integration! If you play a particularly amazing game and want to tell the world about your score, you can choose to tweet it right after the game. Thanks to the very awesome Ian Marsh for helping us with the code, since he did Twitter integration so well in Scoops and Moon Drop.

    We've also started working on Update 3 - the Very Special Episode. Will be submitting it within 2 weeks!

    Hopefully Smugglers' Reef will be out in the store within a week, pending Apple's approval time.

    And a huge thanks to all you guys for helping make Harbor Master such a huge success! We're going to keep working hard to bring you more awesome updates!

    Oh cool, finally the origin of the Harbor Master when some poorly directed boats accidentally killed his family. :(

    I think that's a Smugglers' Reef map feature.

    Hahahahahah!

    No, you can unload in any order you want.

    Thanks! Great idea :D

    No, this only applies to the Smuggers' Reef map. We're never going to change existing maps, as that would mess with the high score list.

    Nice! Looks and sounds like another winner! Love how each level makes for a totally different experience, adds so much more life to the game. Cant wait for anything else you have in store for the game. The possibilities seem endless!

    Best wishes on your continued success and heres hoping you have some staying power in the Top 10 ( which would prob mean more updates win-win :) ).

    I love the idea behind the level, will be difficult for me though. The water on this level looks very nice, cant wait. Like someone said earlier the possibilities of HM seem endless compaired to FC. Totally more addicted to HM than FC. Keep up the good work.

    Ps i hope the coral reef, and matrix slow down ideas is added :D

    edit: is there new music in the next update? Its very catchy!!

    HM is#2 in the uk app store. well done!! I hope it gets to #1

    See, this is what harbor master has over flight control: constant updates. We already have one more map than them, but it seems like imangi is going to keep giving.
