How to play

Lighthouse Keeper is a night-shift steering game. Boats drift in from the left, sailing straight toward your rocky shore. You cannot touch the boats — but your lighthouse beam is a gentle wind. Any boat caught inside the beam gets pushed in the direction the light points, so sweeping the beam lets you steer each ship up or down as it crosses the bay. Thread every boat through the rock field and into the glowing harbor channel at the far right. Dock 12 boats to complete your shift and win. Let 3 boats wreck on the rocks (or smash into the cliff outside the channel) and the night is over.

Controls

• Aim the beam: move your MOUSE over the scene — the beam follows the cursor.
• Keyboard: press ArrowUp / ArrowDown (or W / S) to rotate the beam.
• Mobile: drag your finger across the scene to sweep the beam.
• Start / restart: click the buttons or press Enter.

Tips

• Start nudging early: a small push far out beats a desperate shove near the rocks.
• The beam pushes boats along its direction — aim slightly above a boat to lift it, slightly below to sink it down.
• Only one boat fits the beam's full attention: deal with the closest boat first.
• Watch the harbor mouth — boats must enter inside the glowing green buoys, not above or below them.
• New boats arrive faster as your saved count climbs, so keep the beam moving.

Scoring

Each safe docking earns 100 points. A wreck costs nothing in points but brings you one step closer to game over — three wrecks ends the shift. Your final screen shows docked boats, wrecks, and score: a perfect 12-for-12 night with 1200 points is the keeper's dream shift.
