About the game
Short description
Harbor Hearts is a cozy merge game about waking up a sleepy harbor town. Merge shells, rope, planks and lanterns, help your neighbours with their orders and watch every street fill with colour again. No ads, no purchases in this version, and it plays offline.
Long description
Heartwell Wharf went quiet and grey the winter the Heart Lantern went dark. Now Captain Ollie, a cheerful sea otter, is rowing home, and he needs the player’s help to wake the harbor up.
Players drag two matching items together to make something better: a tiny shell becomes a conch, then a pearl oyster. 11 merge chains, from sea glass and rope to lanterns and flowers, fill the orders of the harbor’s neighbours, and the coins they earn restore six places, from Ollie’s Pier to Harbor Square. Every task turns a little more grey into colour, and every place that wakes up becomes a before-and-after postcard.
The game is built to be calm: orders never expire, no order needs more than one bar of energy, a message in a bottle brings a gift every day, and there is nothing to lose. It plays offline, one-handed and in short sessions, with no ads and no purchases in the launch version.
Features
- 11 merge chains, buried treasures in the sand and items caught in old fishing nets
- Six places to restore: Ollie’s Pier, Pip’s Café, Gus’s Fish Market, Pearl’s Boathouse, Lantern Lane, Harbor Square
- A colour wave that sweeps over the harbor each time a place wakes up, and a before-and-after postcard to keep or share
- Pick the colours for the café, the market and the houses

- Plays offline; separate switches for music, sound, vibration, hints and reduced motion
